The Occasional Paper Series aims to initiate discussion about the role of practice and embodied knowledge in understanding issues of religion and public life. Contributors include ISSRPL alumni, staff and associates who have been connected to the ISSRPL experience and write from within their local contexts on issues of religion and public life. The papers seek to develop a space where the academic, religious, political and development worlds intersect to yield new insights on the challenges of everyday life and the need to better live with difference.

The views expressed in the Occasional Papers are those of the individual authors and are intended to both generate discussion and share the ISSRPL experience.
