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 />
