University of Strathclyde

Grant Awarded 2020-21 £16,600

The University of Strathclyde was awarded a grant for the project After RE which aimed to explore the nature of the educational representation of religion(s) and to support the development of a new vision for Religion Education (Religion and Worldviews). Its primary question is:

What ought to be the educational logic governing the presentation and representation of the subject matter of Religious Education?

The project draws attention to the limitations of the predominant world religions paradigm in the educational representation of religion(s). Drawing on the expertise of academic specialists in Religious Studies and Education Studies along with skilled and experienced teachers, the project seeks to reimagine Religious Education by recognising the complexity of subject matter while acknowledging the pedagogical challenges.
