About Religion, Conflict and Globalization, Master Degree - at University of Groningen
How are religion, conflict and peace related? How does globalization affect local religious traditions? How do religious and secular parties interact in debates on conflict, migration and gender?
Religion is involved in many of the major conflicts that the world is currently facing, and at various levels. At the same time, religion is also an essential part of people's lives, and has become an important basis for solidarity between people all over the world. Despite the importance of religion in society and politics, NGOs, governments and journalists alike often have misguided understandings of the role of religion in the modern world, and the meaning that it holds for various peoples, relying on simplistic and outdated assumptions. This can lead to misunderstandings, tensions, and missed opportunities for dialogue, with potentially serious consequences.
This MA track equips you to critically analyse the role of religion in global dynamics, and its impact on contemporary conflicts, and you will explore how religious interests, practices, and diverse identities intersect with conflicts and peacebuilding. The programme is interdisciplinary and comprehensive - including political, social, psychological, cultural and legal dimensions. During the year, you can specialise in themes such as conflict and peacebuilding, migration and gender.
