Project: Online religion in a transnational context: representing and practicing Jainism in diasporic communities

01/01/15 – 31/12/18

Abstract

This research seeks to identify and understand developments in diasporic Jainism through an exploration of online activity related to Jainism and a set of interviews conducted in different communities. Thus, it will address different currents in contemporary Jainism, but also function as a case-study on the dynamics of religion in the context of migration and the role of ICT therein.
