March meeting: Saturday 23 March

How can we study religion?

Dr Angela Jagger

There are many things we can do with religion. We can talk about it, for sure. Endlessly. Some people practise it. Some condemn it. But what does it mean to study religion? How do we explore more broadly and deeply while remaining focused, dispassionate and rational?

To find out we’re asking someone who knows. Dr Angela Jagger is an associate lecturer in religious studies with the Open University. She has a long-standing interest in inter-faith relations and for many years led modules in the MA programme at the St Philip’s Centre in Leicester. Her doctorate explored Christian attitudes to other faiths.

This promises to be a fascinating meeting, bringing together threads that we often touch on in discussion but rarely approach in a systematic and informed way. Prepare for insights.
