Program Description

Religions are part of complex societies, facing other faiths and intersecting differences based on gender, class and culture. Historically, religion has been a source of conflict in oppressive systems, confrontational identity politics and gender discrimination. But religion has also been and continues to be a resource for personal formation, resistance, and building coexistence. Theology may support conflict-oriented identity formation or foster dialogue and interaction across societal and religious divides.

Highlighting the interaction between experience, religious tradition and theological reflection, and including historical and contemporary perspectives, this two-year Master program offers a broad approach to diversity. The program investigates the connectedness between religious and other identities in pluralist societies. Lived experiences – for instance, with migration, conversion or gender discrimination – are part of the program’s analytical horizon.
