Speaking on my project on Indigenous religiosity & digitality at @iashedinburgh.bsky.social (15 Oct). Curious how it lands among those working across the humanities, beyond my usual circles at @cswcedinburgh.bsky.social & @uoedivinity.bsky.social. Hybrid event. Feedback valued!

Emerging from the post-missionary era, for 50yrs APBF facilitated Baptists in the Asia-Pacific to work together & depend on each other. Notably, its mission-evangelism has a strong social/holistic thrust, as seen in the organic, collaborative response to the 2004 earthquake.

Very informative sessions & discussions today. Learned an immense lot, inspired afresh, baffled by complexities, keen to explore newer threads.. but most of all, grateful to listen & participate in the conversation.

Submitting to this upcoming colloquium (4/4), exploring ethical issues on indigenous knowledge in a digital age. Hope to generate a wide-ranging conversation from grassroots perspectives. Indigenous yet global, landed yet online.
Still time to submit & join the discussion!

Chapter by Anna Sireiliu Charenamai. “A Naga Perspective on Collective Forgetting and Remembering:
The Great June Uprising of 2001.”

A deeply personal & incisive reflection, probing into the “anxieties of marginalised (Manipur tribal) groups” through photographs.

Family photographs that depict–or sometimes forget/hide–the lived experiences of traumatic events can be powerful critiques against mainstream imageries.

Fascinating insights into the religio-cultural and traditional blend that shaped the Bollywood soundscape... and the increasing tendency to discredit this rich heritage in recent times.

Ok..

One of the huge privileges I have in my work is to see students maturing in their academic work. A huge congratulations to these latest #EdinburghGrad's in #WorldChristianity!! @uoedivinity.bsky.social

A special congratulations to two #WorldChristianity students I supervised, Dr Agana Agana and Dr Rathiulung Elias! #EdinburghGrad

Agana’s PhD looked at #digitaltheology and Ghanaian Christian social media.

Thiu’s PhD explored cosmology and #Christology among the Rongmei (Naga) Baptists.
