It involves broad interdisciplinary collaboration between the faculty’s own teaching staff and colleagues from other relevant areas at the university. Several PhD candidates work in the field.

Work on theoretical and methodological issues has an important place in this field. Key research topics are: comparative religion studies in a social science perspective, religious processes of change in pluralistic societies, conflict and dialogue between religious traditions and texts, the relationship between religion and gender, the relationship between religion and normativity, and the relationship between religion and secularity.
