Different ancestors – Thracians, Scythians, Romans, Greeks, Illyrians, proto-Bulgars, Vlacs, Slavs, and so on – all contributed to a mix of peoples and practices that, for all their differences, nevertheless present a recognizable cultural form; at least to outsiders.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The organizers of 2013 BSSRPL on „Syncretic Societies - Bridging Traditions and Modernity?", proceed from the idea that religion and religious identities are central for the life of individual and society, that our religious communities are those to which we devote our greatest loyalties. In our diverse but increasingly interconnected world, we need to find ways to live together in a world populated by people with very different political ideas, moral beliefs and communal loyalties.</p>

<p>The 2011 ISSRPL, held in Bulgaria, was devoted to the different types of margins that we encounter in our social lives. We looked at people, places, families, ethnicities, religions, and practices–all from the perspective of our received notions of society's centers and its margins. Together we explored issues related to poverty, including its role in the marginalization of certain populations. Through our unique combination of lectures and experiential learning, we learned about the situation of the Roma; Bulgarian Pomaks (ethnic Bulgarians who converted to Islam during the Ottoman period); Catholic and Jewish communities in Plovdiv, Bulgaria; and both traditional and emergent Muslim communities.</p>
