ABOUT OUR GUEST

Read his publications here https://univie.academia.edu/JulianStrube

Julian Strube is Assistant Professor in Religious Studies at the University of Vienna. He works from a global historical perspective on the relationship between religion and politics, as well as on debates about the meaning of religion, science, and philosophy since the eighteenth century. His current research focuses on the relationship between orientalist studies, religion, and nationalism; the question of religious comparativism; and exchanges between Bengali intellectuals and their non-Indian interlocutors, especially with regard to reform, tradition, and modernity. In his third monograph, Global Tantra: Religion, Science, and Nationalism in Colonial Modernity (Oxford University Press 2022), he operationalizes the approach of global religious history. This is also the subject of several forthcoming special issues and articles, and was the subject of a special issue on “Global Religious History” co-edited with Giovanni Maltese for Method & Theory in the Study of Religion (2021). Strube previously co-edited Theosophy across Boundaries with Hans-Martin Krämer (SUNY 2020), followed by New Approaches to the Study of Esotericism (Brill 2021), co-edited with Egil Asprem. His first monograph (Vril, Brill 2013) examined the relationship between alternative religious movements, National Socialism, völkisch movements, and contemporary far-right extremism. His PhD thesis on Socialism, Catholicism, and Occultism in Nineteenth-Century France was published in 2016 with De Gruyter.
