First Fellow Arrived in Munich: José Casanova
15.03.2023
We are very happy to announce that on Wednesday, March 15, the first fellow of the KFG arrived in Munich.
Senior Fellow Prof. em. Dr. José Casanova will conduct research at the KFG for a project titled Tensions between Universalism and Particularism in the European Union Project with Special Focus on the War in Ukraine.
José Casanova is professor emeritus at Georgetown University and one of the world's leading scholars in the sociology of religion. He has published works on a broad range of subjects, including religion and globalization, migration and religious pluralism, transnational religions, and sociological theory. His best-known work, Public Religions in the Modern World (University of Chicago Press, 1994), has become a modern classic in the field and has been translated into several languages. Casanova’s most recent research has focused primarily on two areas: globalization and religion, and the dynamics of transnational religion, migration, and increasing ethno-religious and cultural diversity.
