My research centres around the role of religion in world politics and contemporary Islam. I am presently working with colleagues at the Cadbury Centre in Birmingham and the Berkeley Centre in Georgetown to develop a series of projects in these areas.
The first project addresses the role of religion in civic engagement and political participation of citizens from different faiths in Europe and the USA.
