Religion and Life interpretation
The research group «Religion and Life Interpretations» focuses on issues of formation or «bildung», religion and cultural encounters.
The research group «Religion, Culture and Worldviews» aims to contribute to increased knowledge about religion and ethical and philosophical issues in various cultural and social contexts, including school and kindergarten.
The group is multidisciplinary, consisting of researchers with backgrounds from the study of religion, theology, philosophy, ethics, sports, literature and pedagogy. The research group explores various topics related to religion, philosophy, ethics and aesthetics in culture and society, and in relation to formation and education in kindergarten and school.
The research group has several different ongoing projects, some of which are open to interested partners who want to contribute to project development. Please contact the research group's leader or the listed contact person for further inquiries.

- "Negotiating values in contemporary culture" is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary project under the auspices of the research group Religion and Life Interpretation at the University of Western Norway. In light of the overarching theme of Knowledge Boost 2020 (Skill Renewal), we examine value negotiations in kindergartens and schools - and in society in general where children and young people are affected. We will also research value negotiations that take place in teacher education. The researchers are interested in religious, cultural, ethical and aesthetic issues.
