Join us for an engaging webinar where we delve into the intricacies of religious identity, with a specific focus on gender and age dynamics within the transnational Alevi community in the UK and Austria. Our discussion will explore various aspects of this topic and the challenges facing Alevi communities in forging their religious identities in the context of migration, including:
- gender roles and religious expression; discuss how gender influences religious practices and roles within the Alevi community;
- intersections of age and religious belonging; examining how age impacts perceptions of religious identity and participation across generations;
- migration and religious adaptation; exploring how migration influences the religious experiences and practices of Alevis in the UK and Austria;
- diversity within Alevi communities; discussing the religious diversity present among Alevis and its implications for identity formation.
