The specialisation in Religion and Society trains students in the social scientific (especially the anthropological and sociological) study of religion. It develops skills in social theory and research methods when dealing with contemporary and sociocultural aspects of religion and spirituality. It also exposes students to current social and cultural issues with regards to religion in Australia and in the world. Students interested in social sciences and religion will find this course of high relevance. It will attract social scientists who want to research deeper questions on religion in society, or theologian or religious studies trainees wanting to develop their social scientific skills when dealing with the religious field. It can be appealing for, among many professionals, theologians from any faith trained locally and/or internationally who want to develop their skills in social scientific theories and research methods as part of a Masters by coursework, a training that is not currently available in Australia. The Masters is also a pathway for our students majoring in Islamic studies to continue their studies.
