Palgrave Studies in Lived Religion and Societal Challenges publishes monographs and edited volumes that describe and critically interpret pressing societal issues from a lived religion perspective. Many contemporary societal challenges regard religion, directly or indirectly, and usually religion contributes to the problem as much as it fosters positive outcomes. Topics to be addressed would range from conflicts and (in-)tolerance to building inclusive societies; from urban development and policymaking to new forms of social cohesion; from poverty and injustice to global ecological challenges of the 21th century. While such issues are studied by several disciplines, with different approaches and foci, this series aims to contribute to this field by adding a particular focus on the everyday practices of religious and spiritual actors. Contexts to be studied include, but are not limited to faith communities, educational and health care settings, media, and the public sphere at large. The series has a global scope and is open to studies from all contexts and religious backgrounds. This interdisciplinary series will showcase scholarship from sociology of religion and cultural anthropology, religious studies and theology, history and psychology, law and economy. The defining feature is that religion is approached not as a stable system of official positions, traditions, creeds, and structures but as a fluid and multi-layered practice of what people actually do, experience, think, and share when they appropriate religious repertoires and negotiate their religious performance vis a vis the religious and cultural traditions they draw upon, specifically in the context of dealing with societal challenges.
