Religion & Diversity: CRCS Newsletter
The Center, in its partnership with the Center for Religious and Cross-cultural Studies (CRCS), Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia, is proud to feature CRCS’ new newsletter. The monthly-published issues will be featured in the CSEAS newsletter and highlighted here on our website. Check out our Religion & Diversity Initiative page to see more publications from CRCS.
May Highlights
Last month CRCS published two articles analyzing the highly polarizing Jakarta election: one discusses the topic of what the election means for Islamist groups, and the other examines the relation between identity and inequality in shaping the election. We also featured an opinion piece on the Trump presidency by a local expat, our latest publication on intolerance in Yogyakarta, and a report from a field visit as part of our Religion and Tourism Course.
