Religion remains a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary global geopolitical landscape. As a result, there is a pressing need to reassess predominant understandings of secularisation, as well as the meanings of, and tensions inherent within, secular assumptions and secularist positions. The so-called 'resurgence' of religion in the public sphere in recent decades is now a significant area of interdisciplinary scholarship eliciting a complex array of responses, ranging from vehement opposition to the very idea that religious concepts and commitments have a right to expression in political debates, to a reassessment of the origins and implications of divisions between the secular and the religious and their relationship to the nation state. The notion that there is no singular secularism, but rather a plurality of secularisms, and of 'religion' as an invention of European modernity and colonial interests are two of many emerging efforts to re-conceptualise the meanings of religion and the secular and the entangled relationship between them. SOAS's MA Religion, Politics, and Society programme offers a unique and intellectually rich opportunity to examine these questions and issues at an advanced and interdisciplinary level by studying the complex relationships between religion and politics in the histories and contemporary political contexts (both national and international) of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
