My main areas of research cover political mobilization along religious lines, religious violence, and religious nationalism."

"My interest springs from my personal quest for some answers in religion (notwithstanding that I have also found some meaning in life having turned to my own religious roots). I am a gay man and the religious, whether I want it or not, comes to play an important role in my life. By turning to religious studies, I guess I am trying to have my own interpretation of the religious and not what the people have made it out to be today."

Thank you very much for running and developing the Religious Studies Specialization.

I am grateful for the Religious Studies Specialization for creating a curriculum that has enabled to transform my “intuitions into knowledge” about religion, and supplemented this metamorphosis with many bottles of wine, cookies and strawberries throughout the year.

When I entered the program, I did not know much about it, but it happened to be one of the best choices I’ve ever made.
