Regulating Religious Plurality in the Region
Graduate School RePliR
The co-existence of people of different faiths and beliefs brings tremendous challenges for society. Young researchers of the established graduate school RePliR („Religiöse Pluralität und ihre Regulierung in der Region“/"Religious plurality and its regulation in the region") will examine these challenges with a special focus on the regions of Westphalia and Ruhr-area (Germany).
Joint-project
The graduate school is a joint-project of the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Center for Religion and Modernity (CRM) of Münster's university. It recieves funding by the Ministry for Research of the land North Rhine-Westphalia for four and a half years, starting in July 2016. The school is presided over by Prof. Dr. Volkhard Krech and Prof. Dr. Ulrich Willems.
Supporting young research
Eleven PhD-candidates from different subjects will conduct individual research projects on questions that arise from living in a multi-faith society. All candidates will not only be supervised by renowned scientists in their respective fields, but will also be actively communicate with non-academic partners in their fields of research. Partners include actors of religious or humanist/atheists groups, public administration, the media, economics and further institutions of civil society. This close cooperation will entail a focus on the wider significance of societal challenges and will thereby enable more fruitful discussion of solutions with stakeholders.
