Project outputs

This study aimed to develop new concepts in the study of the social relations of religion by exploring how historically and socio-politically situated constructions of religion impact on the formation of gender identities and the significance of this for participation in violence. We examined links between violence at community, household and state level.

Through carrying out participatory action research with community members and religious leaders we supported the development of tools for influencing behaviour leading to changes in gender identities, everyday practices, and violence.

This research project has been funded by the Religion and Society Research Programme, a collaborative venture between the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC).
