Welcome

The Religion and Society Research Programme is a collaborative venture between the AHRC and the ESRC. Together these research councils have contributed £12.3m to fund research of the highest quality on the interrelationships between religion and society. The Programme aims to foster collaborative research across the arts, humanities and social sciences; to build capacity in the study of religion; to engage interested parties beyond the academy; to further understanding of religion in a complex world. The programme started in January 2007 and will end in December 2012.

The Programme Director is Professor Linda Woodhead, the Programme Administrator is Peta Ainsworth and the Programme Research Associate is Rebecca Catto.
