Informed Perspectives: Rethinking the Spirituality of Hong Kong Protests
Throughout Hong Kong’s long history of protest, religious rituals and icons have been instrumental in supporting a diverse community of protesters. What other roles does religion play in Hong Kong protests? How do religion and democracy inform each other and shape the identity of protesters? How can the media amplify these dynamics?
Join UVA PhD students Clara Ma and Matthew Slaats as they bring together religious studies scholar Ting Guo, lawyer and author Antony Dapiran, Miller Center’s Compton Visiting Professor in World Politics Syaru Shirley Lin, and This American Life Executive Editor Emanuele Berry, to discuss how religion and protest are playing an important role in the ever-shifting political landscape in Hong Kong.
