Research Interest

1. The continued issues pertaining to sectarianism in the Scottish and Northern Ireland contexts. This includes community work, ground level research, and theological understandings of violence and reconciliation 2. Practical theology and the way we further define and understand this concept in the contemporary world. 3. The theology of violence/reconciliation in war time, and how these theological views change as war continues long beyond what was hoped or imagined. I welcome emails from research students who are interested in the following topics: Practical Theology Peacebuilding Religion and Violence Theologies of Violence/Reconciliation Sectarianism in the Scottish and Irish contexts Theology in War Time Contemporary Contextual Theologies
