CES and Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University research plans
In late March, members of CES/WRERU (Leslie Francis, Abdullah Sahin, and Elisabeth Arweck) followed an invitation from the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University to meet. The Centre was represented by Kristin Aune, Sariya Cheruvallil-Contractor, Paul Weller, Dilwar Hussein, and Lucie Peacock. The focus of the meeting was religion and education research. Those present provided an outline of their current projects and research interests, then discussed possibilities for working together. The meeting pointed to overlaps in research areas and potential for collaboration. It also suggested that there was a lot of goodwill and appetite to develop links further. Besides beginning conversations about future co-operation, building this kind of bridges will also be helpful for any 鈥榗ity of culture鈥� ventures within CES.
