Currently I am based at the department for the Comparative Study of Religion where I coordinate the Master trajectory on Religion, Conflict and Globalization. My current research interests are the intersections of religious forms of globalization with other social processes and imaginaries. Specifically, I am interested in the role of religion in narratives of modernity, and the impacts this has on both personal and societal levels.  At the moment I am developing research on formations of religion and secularity in understandings of sexuality in post-colonial Europe.

 

previous research:
2007-2010: coordinator and researcher of a NORFACE funded project tracing Nigerian pentecostal churches and believers in Europe and how they contribute to the re-emergence of religion in the public sphere (www.glopent.net). This research started with fieldwork in Nigeria, and included fieldwork in Germany, the Netherlands and England.

2001- 2007 (PhD research)
