Online event

Overview

The seminar aims to address misconceptions related to epistemological temptations to reproduce discourses on the theme of religion and spirituality shaped from the Global North, namely, considering the universality of categories from the North applying them to the South or the Global South. The aim will be to test the epistemological possibilities of discourses and practices on the theme from the South.
