Asian Catholicism and Globalization
Please join us for a discussion with Professor José Casanova on his most recent book Asian Pacific Catholicism and Globalization (with P. Phan, 2023). This study has been acclaimed as “major contribution” to our understanding of how Catholicism has been both a globalizing force and itself impacted by globalization in diverse Asian contexts.
José Casanova is professor emeritus at Georgetown University and senior fellow at the Berkley Center. He has published works on a broad range on religion and globalization, politics and religion, and transnational religions and migration. His works include his landmark study, Public Religions in the Modern World (1994), Islam, Gender, and Democracy in Comparative Perspective, (with J. Cesari, 2017), Religious and Secular Dynamics in Our Global Age (2017). Jesuits and Globalization, (with T. Banchoff, 2016), and Asian Pacific Catholicism and Globalization (with P. Phan, 2023). In 2012, Casanova was awarded the Theology Prize from the Salzburger Hochschulwochen in recognition of his life-long achievement in the field of theology.
