Abstract

Marianne Moyaert’s New Horizons Fellowship at the University of Tübingen in 2022 led to several subsequent forms of cooperation. Among them was a workshop for junior researchers to which she contributed as an advisor and instructor before and during the workshop. Given the links to both her fellowship and her contributions to Interreligious Studies, the organizers of this workshop use the opportunity of this special issue on Moyaert’s notion of religionization to report about the workshop. The report focuses on the methodology of organizing and delivering such a workshop, thereby offering some reflections upon the issues, challenges and considerations involved with coordinating an interreligious workshop.
