Comparative Religion and Indo-European Studies is a small workshop held in cooperation between the Uppsala Network for Indo-European Culture, Languages, and Traditions (UNI-CULT), Uppsala University Sweden, and The Ancient Anatolian Network, Oxford. Comparative studies of religion and Indo-European Studies share a long history back to the writings of Fredrich Max Müller, and this workshop aims to bring together new ways of approaching studies on religion in Indo-European-speaking cultures and discuss new possibilities and challenges. This workshop is the first cooperation between CIRCUS - The Centre for Integrated Research on Culture and Society at Uppsala University and TORCH - The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities at Oxford. The workshop is free and open to everyone, but registration is required.
