Panel organisers: Jon Abbink / Alexandra M. Dias
The Panel will provide critical insights into the historical trajectories of Christianity, Islam, traditional religions and other forms of communal identification, namely ethnicity in their relationship with politics in Northeast Africa. The Panel seeks to understand how these forms collectively interact with state forces and governance and how this has shaped public spaces in Northeast Africa.
