SUMMARY:Exploring Nonreligiosity, Atheism, and Secularism in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:REC A2.05
DESCRIPTION:Our panel “Exploring Nonreligiosity, Atheism, and Secular
 ism in Southeast Asia” aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions o
 n the evolving dynamics of nonbelief and secular identities within the regi
 on.\n\nSoutheast Asia, recognized for its strong religious traditions, is u
 ndergoing a transformative shift as individuals with diverse perspectives o
 n religion challenge conventional norms. Atheists, religious nones, and sec
 ularists are carving out their place in these pluralistic societies, prompt
 ing intriguing questions about social cohesion, political implications, and
  indigenous vs. external influences. We believe that this emerging discours
 e holds the potential to enrich our understanding of Southeast Asian religi
 osity and societal diversity. As we delve into this uncharted territory, we
  seek contributions from scholars across disciplines such as cultural anthr
 opology, sociology, law, political science, and theology.\n\nKey inquiries 
 that our panel aims to explore include, but are not limited to, the followi
 ng topics:\n\n- \nThe negotiation of secular or atheist identities in relig
 ious contexts\n\n- The historical roots and development of atheism and secu
 larism in Southeast Asia\n- Government and societal responses to these conc
 epts in discourse, legal frameworks, and political arenas\n- The intersecti
 on of atheism and secularism with the region’s intricate religious ta
 pestry.\n- Possibilities and challenges for integrating atheism within Sout
 heast Asia’s plural societies\n- Novel avenues for social critique fa
 cilitated by atheism\n- The relevance and manifestations of secularism in S
 outheast Asian political landscapes
