RESEARCH<br />
AND<br />
EXPERTISE<br />
<strong>Religion</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Theology</strong> at <strong>Brookes</strong> is home to a rich range <strong>of</strong> research<br />
expertise. We have a strong research environment for students whose<br />
recent work includes themes in gender <strong>and</strong> sexuality, theology <strong>and</strong><br />
health <strong>and</strong> the eighteenth century.<br />
Staff research<br />
Our teaching staff research comprises three<br />
main str<strong>and</strong>s:<br />
• Church history, with particular emphasis on<br />
the eighteenth century <strong>and</strong> the German<br />
church struggle <strong>of</strong> the twentieth century.<br />
• Philosophical approaches to the study<br />
<strong>of</strong> religion, with emphasis on<br />
psychoanalytic <strong>and</strong> feminist approaches.<br />
Will I get involved?<br />
We value research highly <strong>and</strong> actively<br />
encourage you to become a researcher in<br />
your own right. By designing <strong>and</strong> undertaking<br />
your own research you will develop excellent<br />
analytical <strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> independent study skills,<br />
adding weight to your CV.<br />
• The study <strong>of</strong> religion <strong>and</strong> contemporary<br />
forms <strong>of</strong> religious belief <strong>and</strong> practice.<br />

The lecturers are incredibly helpful, all it takes is an email for them to help you with any<br />
problem. The small grouped lectures enable you to ask questions more freely without feeling<br />
like just another ‘number’ in a larger lecture. I feel these all lead to a better relationship with<br />
the staff.<br />
