This workshop explores transnational flows and interactions across East Asia and beyond in relation to popular goddess worship. It investigates some of the ways in which people in different historical periods and different parts of the region have interacted with their goddesses through ritual practices and storytelling, and how these goddesses have travelled and transformed in response to migration, foreign trade, changing social and political circumstances, and environmental change.

On 16 and 17 December 2019, WhoP organises a workshop on ethnographic fieldwork in Asia. Here we will discuss various issues related to research ethics, data security, and personal safety. On the first day, there will be a number of guest lectures and group discussions. On the second day, we will discuss individual PhD and postdoc projects.
