Webinar: Exploring the Intersections of Popular and Orthodox Spiritual Practices in Mainland SEA

Date and Time: Nov 2, 2022 | 2:00pm-3:30pm HST

Register via Zoom webinar [new window]

In this webinar we explore the intersections between popular and orthodox religious practices among three groups in Mainland Southeast Asia: Cham Bani in South Vietnam; Chinese in Phuket, Thailand; and Khmer in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In each case we will consider how the western notions of “religion” and “tradition,” as well as processes of state formation and modernization have impacted localized religious practices and practitioners.
