[Asec] November 6 @ 1pm New York Time: Orthodoxy and Anthropology in Conversation

[Eugene Clay]

On Friday November 6th, the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University will be hosting an important panel entitled, "Orthodoxy and Anthropology in Conversation," which brings together women scholars working at the intersection of theology and anthropology in Orthodox Christian Studies. The panel is also sponsored by the Center for Theologically Engaged Anthropology at UGA.

Abstract: Most scholarly engagements with Orthodox Christianity rest in the fields of theology and history, with little ethnographic focus on the socio-political, everyday lives of Orthodox Christians today. Similarly, anthropology of Orthodoxy is often devoid of theological sensitivity. In an effort to make Orthodox Studies holistic and attuned to the experiences of believers, this panel brings together theologians and anthropologists of Orthodox Christianity to think through the social life of religious concepts and the future of the field. Orthodoxy is not a tradition of the past, but rather is forged by the challenges of the modern world and the debates of contemporary life.
Panelists: Angie Heo, Elina Vuola, Alexandra Antohin, and Bethlehem Dejene
Respondent: Sonja Thomas
