In times of crises, scholars of religion often feel compelled to address
certain controversial issues as soon as they emerge. A growing number of
scholars specialising in religious studies straddle the worlds of academia and
the media. Under time constraints, they are sometimes forced to reduce
context-specific and flexible religious traditions to generalizations in order
to be accessible to the public. As a result, debates within the different
fields under the broad rubric of religious studies that have a longer
trajectory and pervasive role in the academy tend to be cast aside. Many
scholars continue to feel a heightened sense of responsibility in presenting
their research through careful crafting of narratives to avoid
sensationalization or shallow analyses which are not helpful in the long run.

This roundtable proposes to explore how scholars working on Asia could
balance in-depth research amidst the quick unfolding of crucial current events
that could not be analysed fast enough.

How can scholars stay relevant by being current
whilst producing trenchant analyses?
How have scholars adjusted their investigations
to methodologies that address events that require their attention
immediately?
How has scholarship on religion been presented
outside of academia?
How has the rise of social media impacted upon
scholarship on religion?
How do scholars of religion incorporate these
events into their research afterwards?
What frameworks should be adopted and avoided?

We hope that this conversation between scholars will help incubate new
approaches to studying religion in Southeast Asia in particular, a region that
has been neglected in despite its fair share of religious crises.
