Birgit Meyer (anthropologist)

Birgit Meyer is a scholar who studies how religion, especially Christianity, influences culture and society, mainly in Africa and Europe. She examines how religious beliefs, practices, and media shape people's identities, values, and everyday life. Her work explores the intersection of faith, media, and modernity, helping us understand how religion remains relevant in contemporary contexts. Meyer combines anthropological methods to analyze the symbolic and material aspects of religious phenomena, offering insights into how religion adapts and functions in a changing world.
