This interdisciplinary Handbook addresses emerging and contemporary themes, challenges and possibilities in the study of religion, space and place from infrastructures to the material turn to consider a range of phenomena from migrant lives to social memory and tourism. 24 research-led chapters cover a range of theoretical, methodological and disciplinary perspectives (both conceptual and empirical) to ensure that the Handbook will be a reference point for scholars and students searching for innovative engagements with critical issues relating to religion, place and space.The Handbook is divided into four thematic sections, which offer wide ranging interpretations of space and place:· Mobilities and mediations;· Urban transformations;· Place-making and utopias;· Relationalities and decolonialities.The case studies are drawn from across the Global North and Global South including Brazil, China, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Jerusalem, New Zealand, Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, UK and the USA, and chapters are informed by historical and contemporary perspectives.
