Research Team

Our research team studies “The role of religion and belief in narratives and practices of polarization and post-conflict transformation/reconciliation” in post-conflict societies, such as Colombia, Indonesia, South Africa, Russia, the Balkans and the Netherlands.

In this project, we apply a ”lived religion” methodology that combine experiences from various disciplines, such as religious studies, systematic/practical theology, and ethics. In this way, our Research Team brings together experts from different regions to explore diverse topics in peace and conflict studies.
