Expanding Religion: Studying Migration, Diaspora and Zoroastrian Community: Professor John Hinnells in Discussion

Professor John Hinnells reflects on a lifetime of research on the effects of Diaspora on religions, and the importance of making those religions better understood in their new homes. From experience of the Zoroastrian communities of India, the U.K. and further afield, Professor Hinnells explores the role of the scholar as someone who must preserve tradition, without changing it in the process. Through forty years of engagement with the Parsi community, he shares his insights into the effects of global migration on communities and their beliefs.
