Paul Kollman: “God(s) at Large: Tentative Theses on Religion and Mobility”

A conversation with Paul Kollman, who will draw upon his research in African Christianity as well as other trends in religious studies to offer some suggestions about how studies of religion and mobility have been already undertaken and how they might profitably move forward. Kollman is an associate professor in the Department of Theology and Fellow of the Kellogg, Kroc, and Nanovic Institutes at the University of Notre Dame, as well as Acting Director of the Center for Social Concerns at Notre Dame. In 2005 he published The Evangelization of Slaves and Catholic Origins in Eastern Africa and his current project is a book on the Catholic missionary evangelization of eastern Africa.
