TheForum on Religion is part of the Programme for the Study of Religion and Non-Religion at LSE, based in the Department of Anthropology. The Programme aims to bring together staff and research students from across LSE, and within the wider academic and policy communities, working on issues to do with religion, secularism, and “non-religious” practices, beliefs, and traditions.

LSE's Anthropology Department (@LSEAnthropology), with a long and distinguished history, remains a leading centre for innovative research and teaching.
