TEACHING INTERESTS
My core teaching currently focuses on RELI108: The World's Religions and an upper-level seminar RELI335: Arguing About Religion. I contribute extensively to RELI232: Violence and Peacemaking and the online T3 course RELI114: Religious Troublemakers, and also guest lecture in RELI and other courses.
I have supervised many postgraduate students, on wide-ranging topics within the Hons, MA, and PhD programmes. I particularly welcome enquiries to supervise in areas related to my research expertise on religion in New Zealand, modern Christianity, and contemporary religious change.
