Religions and Migrations in the Black Sea Region

Part of the book series: Religion and Global Migrations ((RGM))

  • 117 Accesses

Abstract

The final part of this collection offers some further reflections on the burgeoning cross-disciplinary field of religion and migration studies. Rather than proffering concluding remarks on an area of research which has only recently started to attract concerted scholarly attention, we will tentatively present some thoughts on future directions in which the field may expand. We hope to negotiate a route through the dense intersecting nodes connecting religion and migration to questions revolving around cosmopolitanism and peacebuilding on the one hand, and conflict resolution on the other.
