Fieldwork Seminar in Tanzania in October-November 2023

The next Research School gathering took place in Dar es Salaam and Bagamoyo, Tanzania, from 23 Oct. through 5 Nov. 2023. This Fieldwork Seminar combined theoretical and methodological reflections in lectures and workshops on campus discussions, and practical joint fieldwork in villages of Bagamoyo District.

The theme of this year's Fieldwork Seminar was Religious Coexistence and Decolonizing Research Methodologies. It was geared towards the coexistence between different religious communities and also address the very concept of "religion" as a hegemonic definition of a series of religious practices in the past and the present. We aimed to explore decolonizing research methodologies in everyday religious practices in Bagamoyo.
