Research overview

Ever since A-level studies in Sociology and Religion I've been fascinated by the interface of religion and modern society. Originally explored through the academic study of Christianity in South America, I now also engage this interface through the discourse and practice of minority religions and nonmainstream religiosity across Europe and North America.

PhD supervision

I'm open to supervising research students in the following areas: religion and modern society, sociology of religion, new and nonmainstream religiosity and contemporary Christianity.

Current Teaching

RSt.100: Religion in the Modern World

PPR.242: Religion and Society

PPR.361: Spirit Possession in Social Context

PPR.411: Religion and Social Theory

Research Interests
