Excluded<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The methodological repertoire of the sociology of religion is rich and&nbsp;expanding,&nbsp;encompassing both quantitative and qualitative approaches: large-scale surveys, ethnographic fieldwork, mixed-methods designs, participatory and arts-based approaches, and legal-ethical frameworks for working with sensitive data. Yet, when it comes to&nbsp;less researched&nbsp;marginalized and socially excluded populations\u2014such as indigenous groups, LGBTQI+ communities, migrants, or those experiencing homelessness,&nbsp;to mention a few\u2014new questions arise: How can we ensure inclusive and sustainable research practices? How do we achieve higher&nbsp;quality,&nbsp;validity&nbsp;and reliability? What legal and ethical constraints must we navigate? How do our methods shape whose voices are heard and how those voices are interpreted?\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 conference of the Nordic Association for the Sociology of Religion (NCSR) invites scholars to critically engage with how we research religion and worldviews in contemporary social and cultural contexts. We particularly welcome contributions&nbsp;displaying new methodological approaches&nbsp;focusing on contexts&nbsp;marked by marginalization, vulnerability, and social exclusion. These contexts often challenge conventional methods and assumptions, calling for a reconsideration of the ways we conceptualize and investigate the variety of contemporary religious, spiritual and non-religious views,&nbsp;meaning-making practices, the communal contexts they are embedded in, etc. Contributions may address a range of issues, ranging from practical challenges, interdisciplinary strategies, methodological limitations and possibilities, or broader questions relating to adequate representation, access, and epistemic justice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>By focusing on these critical issues, NCSR 2026 aims to foster a deeper, more inclusive sociology of religion that not only&nbsp;observes&nbsp;but actively engages with the complexity and diversity of contemporary lived realities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keynote&nbsp;Speakers&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ccrs.ku.dk\/staff\/?pure=en\/persons\/43493\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Birgitte Schepelern Johansen,<\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Associate Professor at the&nbsp;Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen&nbsp;\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Schepelern Johansen\u2019s&nbsp;research interests fall within three&nbsp;main clusters, which are tied together by an overall interest in the changing formations of normality and deviation:&nbsp;hating hate crime,&nbsp;secular&nbsp;sensibilities&nbsp;and ideologies, and&nbsp;humanist&nbsp;perspectives on the art of counting deviance.&nbsp;A full list of Schepelern Johansen\u2019s research interests and publications can be found&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/researchprofiles.ku.dk\/en\/persons\/birgitte-schepelern-johansen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.ac.uk\/staff\/profiles\/social-policy\/sigona-nando\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.ac.uk\/staff\/profiles\/social-policy\/sigona-nando\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nando Sigona<\/a><strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong>Professor&nbsp;of International Migration and Forced Displacement&nbsp;at&nbsp;the Department of Social Policy, Sociology and Criminology,&nbsp;University of Birmingham&nbsp;\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sigona<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences (FAcSS) and Research Associate at the&nbsp;Refugee Studies Centre&nbsp;at the University of Oxford, Senior Research Associate at ODI, and Visiting Professor at Utrecht University.
