The Institute for the Study of Religion at Leibniz University Hannover distinguishes itself within the German and European landscape of the Study of Religion through its longstanding tradition of combining social-scientific and cultural-scientific approaches with contemporary socio-political questions relating to the field of “religion”. Education, migration, and religious discourses constitute prominent thematic focal points in this regard.
The combination of these focal areas with an expertise in subject-specific didactics in the Study of Religion that is unique in Germany, together with intensive and diverse international networking and committed participation in academic governance, forms the Institute’s distinctive profile.
