In this episode, we talk with Dr. Ting Guo about her exploration of the themes surrounding religion, secularism and love as forms of political discourse in modern China, but also in other parts of the world. We break down how secularism is understood in the "West" as well as in the "majority world", and its implication for how we understand the expressions religion, culture and tradition.
