The following is the BASR’s response, with Arts and Humanities Alliance, regarding Brexit:
Religious Studies: Religion is not confined to national boundaries or borders, and nor is scholarship on religion. The British Association or the Study of Religions is Europe’s oldest national association for Religious Studies, and was a founder member of the European Association for the Study of Religions. The discipline relies heavily on valued students and colleagues, not to mention research environments and funding streams, from across Europe, and the fact that our current President is a German citizen is a very ‘human’ reminder of this.
