Join us for the next installment in our "No More Than A Page" series. This series gives an opportunity for faculty and advanced graduate students to receive feedback on their research in process. Presenters provide attendees with a one-page summary of their current research and attendees engage in a lively discussion.
This installment will feature Ciara Bernal, a graduate student in the Department of Comparative Studies.
This paper explores vernacular religious belief and traditionalization as an integrated process that impacts the practices, beliefs, and stories of a family across three generations. Looking specifically at Mexican Catholicism, this paper explores how changing definitions of what it means to be "religious" can demonstrate how people understand religion and their own practices. In this case, these definitions point back to the oldest generation in the family, depicting religious belief and practice as a tradition that is passed down and changed within each generation.
This event is free, open to the public and welcoming to everyone. Co-hosted by the Center for the Study of Religion, the Department of Comparative Studies and the Humanities Institute.
The Humanities Institute and its related centers host a wide range of events, from intense discussions of works in progress to cutting-edge presentations from world-known scholars, artists, activists and everything in between.
