1. Kathinka Frøystad – Religious Offence in India
In this episode of the podcast, we discuss with Kathinka Frøystad, a Professor of Modern South Asian Studies at IKOS. Our focus is on her recent research about religious offence in India and the various ways in which religious controversies can either escalate unexpectedly or be resolved peacefully at the local level. Kathinka shares some of her findings from her latest book, which she co-edited with Vera Lazzaretti, titled "Beyond Courtrooms and Street Violence: Rethinking Religious Offence and Its Containment" (Routledge, 2023).
