Faith, Conflict & Connection Series: Coexistence in post-secular public spaces: introducing the idea of trans-liminal space

LSE PhD Academy, LRB.4.02, 10 Portugal St, London, WC2A 2HD

Faith, Conflict &amp; Connection Series: Dr Marietta Van der Tol - Coexistence in post-secular public spaces: introducing the idea of trans-liminal space Secularisation theories have long dominated scholarship on public space, casting public spaces on a spectrum of the secular-sacred. Increasing diversity and changing cleavages, however, reconfigure the demands on public spaces. This seminar introduces the idea of trans-liminal space: space that can contain multiple ascriptions of meaning, without being exclusively grounded in either the sacred, the secular, or the secular-sacred. Marietta's research interests include the relationship between religion, politics and society, and the role that political imaginaries play in the formation of law and public policy with regard to religious minorities in Europe. Her doctoral thesis, ‘Politics of religious diversity: toleration, religious freedom and visibility of religion in public space’ (Cambridge, 2020), explored expressions of tolerance and intolerance in contemporary constitutional law and politics in France, Germany and the Netherlands.
