The group was first formed in March of 2012 as the "Religion and Development Reading Group" and was coordinated by Robin Bush and Philip Fountain. Since mid-2015 the group meets monthly to discuss texts and share ideas related to the intersection of religion and global problems in contemporary Asia. The group adopts a broad focus on religion and seeks to examine multiple related themes including (but not limited to) religious actors and the nation, gender, ethnicity, politics & secularism, economic development and philanthropy. The readings for the Religion and Globalisation Reading Group are selected among titles published in the last 3 years to help the group explore and discuss the latest works in the field.
