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 "Religiöse Pluralität und ihre Regulierung in der Region/Religious plurality and its regulation in the region" (RePliR) have examined these challenges with a special focus on the regions of Westphalia and Ruhr-area (Germany) from 2016 to 2020. After the successful completion of this first phase of the graduate school, the second began in January 2021. By June 2024, ten more doctoral students will conduct research in the project, which is now named "Regional Regulation of Religious Plurality in Comparison" (RePliV). The contents of this homepage will be gradually updated in the coming weeks.
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, started in July 2016. The school is presided over by Prof. Dr. Volkhard Krech and Prof. Dr. Ulrich Willems.
Supporting young research
PhD-candidates from different subjects conduct individual research projects on questions that arise from living in a multi-faith society. All candidates are supervised by renowned scientists in their respective fields. Moreover, they 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 entails a focus on the wider significance of societal challenges and will thereby enable more fruitful discussion of solutions with stakeholders.
