Post conference Leeds campus tour, led by Mel Prideaux #basr2024

Yesterday we had a reception for the launch of the new INFORM/Religious Studies series, 'Religion at the Boundaries', and its first book, '"Cult" Rhetoric in the 21st Century', edited by @egrahamhyde and Dr Aled Thomas 🏳️‍🌈 ☮🌍 #basr2024

What a privilege to convene these 2 panels & hear about the work of some amazing postgraduate researchers! They were on the theme of 'Re/assessing approaches to sensitive research in religious studies' - grateful to BASR for incorporating them in the conference! #basr2024

Fantastic presentations from the 're/assessing approaches to sensitive research in religious studies' panel today! #BASR2024

I've had a lot of academic fun at the British Association for the Study of Religion conference this Monday. It's always lovely to meet up and chat with friends and scholars! 🤓📖 #basr #basr2024 #universityofleeds #religiousstudies

At BASR conference yesterday I also got the opportunity to be on a roundtable with 4 amazing academics to represent the PGR voice. Great discussion on the theme of teaching and learning in the study of religion #basr2024

And with that, a hectic three day conference comes to an end! It's been such an honour to be the administrative assistant for this year's BASR annual conference - grateful to meet so many lovely and interesting people! #BASR2024

What an amazing panel to close #BASR2024 where we heard articulations on re/assessing approaches to sensitive research. I reflected on this in a Sikh context with government, media, and policy implications, and the lack of understanding of Sikh practices and the impacts of this

"There are bodies everywhere!" Mel Prideaux showing us a cemetery that's now mainly a green space, now part of the University of Leeds. #BASR2024

Remaining delegates of ##BASR2024 on a walking tour of Leeds, with the final stop at the Unitarian Church, the first place in Leeds to hold same-sex marriages

I had a fantastic time at the #basr2024. A brilliant first BASR experience. It was an honour to watch the 'official' inauguration of Paul-Francois Tremlett as president

I am so so grateful for the incredible people, the welcoming space and the tangible sense of connection between everyone in the room, which made it possible for us all to be vulnerable with each other, and to have these challenging conversations today. 💜 #BASR2024

And that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who has helped make #BASR2024 such a great success, from your three tired but happy organisers, Mel Prideaux, Dr Aled Thomas 🏳️‍🌈 ☮🌍, and Erin Clark🫧

Thank you, Erin!

An excellent panel - a testament to the fantastic research conducted by early career researchers in the study of religion! #basr2024
