Evidence on Trial Public Lecture
The field of “secular studies” has grown by leaps and bounds over the past twenty years. Covering everything from the sociology of church attendance and affiliation in Britain, to Indian and Egyptian political arrangements, to the politics of the body in the United States, secular studies ask important questions about power, personhood, epistemology, and even ontology in the contemporary world. This talk by Professor Matthew Engelke, London School of Economics, is a contribution to secular studies, from an anthropological perspective. Its point of departure is the observation that for all the ways in which secular studies have advanced our understandings of modernity and its discontents, greater attention to the several ways in which “evidence” figures within them is both necessary and salutary.
