Saipan's premiere in Belfast, produced by ine of my closest friends, Trevor Birney. Never thought I'd be so interested in football and there was still about Irish culture i had no idea about...

I had the pleasure of joining @williamcrawley.bsky.social on BBC TalkBack to discuss Christian Judaism. It was a fascinating conversation about how theology, politics, and identity intersect in Northern Ireland and beyond. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Great debate on Christian Zionism in Northern Ireland at the Feile an Phobail, in Belfast. Full room!

Had my paper on critical sociologies of religion after an impressive kick off of the ISA forum in Rabat. Done for the summer!

Delighted to give the first keynote of the 38th ISSR conference in Kaunas, on “Sociology of Religion and Conflict: A Roadmap for Times of Crisis”. @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social

honoured to deliver the closing keynote at the biennial conference of the Société québécoise pour l’étude de la religion, exploring the epistemological challenges of researching crise—how crises shape, obscure, or clarify what we think we know. @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social

New book is out, and in good paws!

I love my annual invitation for the obstetrics conference...

It was a pleasure to give a lecture to research students and colleagues of The University of Tokyo, in Prof. Satoko Fujiwara's seminar. We had a very stimulating discussion and the joy to see the Ginkgo's autumn leaves shining in the sun on this beautiful campus. #Sociology #Religion

Delighted to teach students from Toyo University about the ways in which sociology analyses new religious movements and spirituality in Euro-American Societies; it was good fun! #Sociology #Religion

Ciorcal Cómhra at QUB, November...

Very shocking to see QUB students brutally handled by the PSNI -because they oppose a genocide...
