Across the School our academic staff have internationally recognised research expertise.

In Peace Studies this includes research on conflict resolution, transitional justice and peace processes with expertise on Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine, Korea and Sri Lanka.

In Religious Studies we have experts in the theology and the textual, doctrinal and cultural aspects of world religions, while others focus on religion’s ethical and political impacts.

Please explore our individual research profiles.

We encourage potential research students to reach out to us and join our flourishing community of early career researchers.

The School also houses several Horizon European and internationally funded research projects. Current examples include GEMS on radicalization in the gaming ecosystem and Through a Glass Brightly (Templeton Foundation) on how light in stained glass creates religious awe.
