RB021 Studying Religion without Studying Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:I am a student of religion who does not study religion. I study what people think and talk about as religion. I study the spaces, places, things, objects, ideas, practices, and conflicts that can be found in particular discourses that get labelled and thought about as ‘religion’. I study...
-
RB020 Race and Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:When we speak of religion are we in fact talking about race? Does the idea of ‘religion’ only make sense if we consider it as a particular instance of a racial formation? LISTEN NOWEpisode notesMy theoretical starting point here is this question: When we speak of religion are we in fact...
-
RB019 Exploring the Burkini Ban with intersectionality (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:To understand the burkini bans in France in summer 2016, our starting point needs to be based on an assumption of intersectionality. The bans are not only about religion or security, they also involve gender, sexuality, race, power, and history. LISTEN NOWEpisode notesWhat is going on…

RB018 Religion is like chocolate? (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary: The history of the idea of chocolate is somewhat similar to the history of how we think about religions. Chocolate became chocolate through colonial encounter and appropriation. Without colonialism, we would not talk about chocolate – the same with religion. LISTEN NOWEpisode…

RB017 What gloves to wear in the study of religion? (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:So, here is a question that is rarely asked in Religion 101 classes: What type of gloves should you be wearing? All studies of religion are a study of humans, people and the worlds, cultures, meanings, ideas, and practices they live within. What we choose to wear (perhaps metaphorically)…

RB016 POSTCOLONIALISM and Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary: Postcolonialism and religion: in what ways are history and the contemporary world relevant not only to the topic of religion, but also to how we analyse and understand religions and cultures? LISTEN NOWEpisode notesFor some postcolonialism is merely a buzz word — perhaps like...
-
RB015 The problem of BELIEF in the study of Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary: In this episode, my aim is to encourage you to stop using the word ‘belief’ when you think about (and talk about) religion. It is not a useful word, and for most of the time it does the opposite of what we want the word to do — that is, it obscures our attempts to understand, rather than...
-
RB014 AGENCY and Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary: Agency is a concept often used to understand how people participate in (and sometimes resist) religious contexts and structures. That is, how do people who are in a subordinate position and who are marginalised from the main areas of power, how do they live with (and perhaps overcome)...
-
RB013 INTERSECTIONALITY and Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:This episode introduces the concept of intersectionality, a way to understand complex issues and identities deriving in particular from the work of Kimberlee Crenshaw. An intersectional approach recognises that the ‘single’ categories that we rely on for much of our analysis (race…

RB012 Race, Ethnicity and Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:Is race a matter of identity (what people think of differences) or is it a biological given? How is it that the idea of race-as-a-given works to structure and enforce differences (and power relations) within a particular society? LISTEN NOWEpisode notesHow much is ‘race’ something that is...
-
RB011 Gender, Sexuality and Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:Gender matters to our understanding of culture and religion. How we understand gender, gender differences, and the understandings and practices of gender has a profound impact on how we talk about (and understand) religion. Gender is a means of understanding the concept of culture. All...
-
RB010 Religion, Power and Ideology (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:An understanding of power, in its many forms, is an important part of the study of religion and culture. In this podcast on ‘Religion, Power and Ideology’ I give an outline of Michel Foucault’s understanding of the concept of power. In particular, ‘power is everywhere because it comes…

RB009 Power, Gender and Race (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:Religion does not just exist within the context of culture. What we think of as religion always also exists within contexts of power, gender, race, ethnicity, and other areas of identity and difference. Or to put this another way: power, gender, and race are basic (and universal) aspects…

RB008 Religion and culture (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:Building on the discussion in the last two episodes, I introduce here the idea of subculture to explore through examples the linkages between such cultures of resistance, the cultural products that come from them, and religious ideas and practices. LISTEN NOWEpisode notesWhen talking…

RB007 Culture in religion – there is no gap (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary: When we reverse the discussion, and explore how we can understand the many ways in which we can explore culture within religion, again the gap between the two disappears. Thus, culture is the medium through which religion is done, and cultural differences often are the means by which...
-
RB006 Mind the gap: religion in culture? (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:Continuing the discussion of religion and culture, in this episode we explore what is seen as the gap between the two. Looking at specific examples of religion in culture – in both ‘high’ and popular culture – we examine how religion is often the basis of the language of experience, a…
more -
RB005 Culture and religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:Religion is a cultural practice. And culture is bound up with religious ideas, identities and religion practice. Religion can be understood as a form of culture, and the study of religion is a form of cultural studies. And what we gain from this is the shift of our point of reference to…

RB004 Relevance of religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary:In order to understand the contemporary world we need to take religion seriously. Although some may think of religion as an ancient (or medieval) relic of bygone times, religions are very often important elements of the contemporary world. We need to recognise that religion and religions...
-
RB003 Talking about religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
SummaryIf it is difficult to define religion, what about if we try to avoid doing so? Can we talk about religion without a definition? Trying to find a definition is almost like stepping through a quagmire, it is messy and difficult, and unhelpful in many ways. The aim of this discussion is to...
-
RB002 Defining Religion (Religion Bites Podcast)
Summary Defining religion: What is it all about and what do we mean by the term religion? Well one thing to ask before we start exploring this is does it really matter. Surely we know what religion is, it is just there…? Whether we like it or not it is everywhere, and as I have been trying to...
