Writing my abstract today for this symposium on “Religion in Place: Spaces | Borders | Bodies” which will be held at SLU next month. (“Writing my abstract” is code for “actually doing the required thinking at last.”) I’ll be talking about RRCHNM’s American Religious Ecologies project and whether it is possible to study historical religious space extensively (across regions and the nation) in ways that are analogous to how scholars have studied religions space intensively (usually in urban space).
