Publication on Daoism and DiseaseMichael Stanley-Baker recently published his article „Daoism and Disease in China and Diaspora“, which discusses some of the ways in which Daoism has responded to COVID-19, and in so doing, negotiated new relations with secular authority and material praxis. His article is part of the series „Responding to an Unfolding Pandemic: Asian Medicines and Covid-19“. Stanley-Baker, Michael. "Daoism and Disease in China and Diaspora." Hot Spots, Fieldsights, 23 June 2020. https://culanth.org/fieldsights/daoism-and-disease-in-china-and-diaspora.

Publication on Religion and PredjudicesOur Research Fellow Gert Pickel co-published an article on "Perception of threat as a source of group-related prejudices by religions in a heterogeneous urban society (Bedrohungsempfinden als Quelle gruppenbezogener Vorurteile durch Religionen in einer heterogenen Stadtgesellschaft. Analysen des Berlinmonitors)". Together with Kazim Celik, Julia Schuler and Oliver Decker he uses data from the 2019 Berlin-Monitor to investigate possible connections between a more differentiated assessment of religiosity and prejudices or resentments. The article is part of a special issue on religion and prejudice by the Journal for Religion, Society and Politics (Zeitschrift für Religion, Gesellschaft und Politik). Pickel, Gert, Kazim Celik, Julia Schuler, and Oliver Decker. “Bedrohungsempfinden Als Quelle Gruppenbezogener Vorurteile Durch Religionen in Einer Heterogenen Stadtgesellschaft. Analysen Des Berlinmonitors.” Zeitschrift für Religion, Gesellschaft und Politik 4, no. 1 (2020): 7–43.
