Maria Elizabeth Louw is Associate Professor at the Department of Anthropology, School of Culture and Society, at Aarhus University. In this episode, Maria introduces the Center for the Study of Ethics and Community, ponders upon different ways of approaching and thinking about ethics as both an ontological and relational experience, but also as a field of inquiry within Anthropology. Further, Maria gives us an introduction to her own fields where she reflects upon other-wordly presence in the lives of elderly people in Kyrgyzstan, and how an Anthropology of Ethics can illuminate why people engage in religious experience, specifically Islam.
