Editors’ Introduction

Abstract

The second issue of Fieldwork in Religion for 2021 has a truly international selection, with six research articles from scholars based in Israel, Norway, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria and Australia. The authors investigate fieldwork in multiple innovative contexts including LGBTQI Jewish congregations, Greek Orthodox devotion to the Virgin Mary on the island of Tinos, religious responses and adaptations during the current COVID-19 pandemic, the syncretistic religious practices of the Semelai Orang Asli Muslims in Malaysia, traditional Yoruba festivals, and religious and touristic pilgrimage trails in contemporary Britain.
