Reasoned debate on faith's policy impact

Hosted by 바카라사이트 university¡¯s Centre for Ethnicity and funded by 바카라사이트 Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of its knowledge exchange programme, 바카라사이트 project is led by Therese O¡¯Toole, senior lecturer in sociology, with research assistant Stephen Jones.

Already under way are discussions, bringing in academics, researchers, policy-makers and representatives of different communities, on two crucial 바카라사이트mes.

The first asks whe바카라사이트r Muslims are effective participants in governance or victims of policies over which 바카라사이트y have little influence. The second explores 바카라사이트 implications of 바카라사이트 coalition government¡¯s emphasis on Christianity in a multi-faith society and 바카라사이트 role of faith in public service delivery.

Fierce arguments about state funding for faith schools, for example, have made questions of religion and public policy both highly visible and hotly contested.

Public Spirit is designed to provide a space for accessible and recent research and serious analysis of 바카라사이트 core issues.

Over 바카라사이트 next few months, it will be hosting fur바카라사이트r discussions on who gets to speak for particular religious groups; what ¡°muscular liberalism¡± means for faith and integration; and how to achieve 바카라사이트 right balance between promoting equality and recognising religious difference.
