Workshop Christian Networks in Southeast Asia

co-organized by IRASEC within the NUS-USPC project “Project Intersecting Mobilities: Southeast Asia from the Perspective of Religious Mobility”

This two-day workshop focused on the historical and contemporary dynamics of Christian networks in Southeast Asia is part of the broader comparative exploration of religious networks in Asia supported by a collaborative grant awarded by Université Sorbonne Paris Cité (USPC) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) to promote new scientific and academic collaborations between Europe and Southeast Asia.

The main objective of this workshop is to examine how the circulation of clergy, missionaries and educators across the institutions established by Christian churches in the region since the 16th century played a fundamental role in shaping regional networks of communication, education and evangelization.
