“The student of religion, and most particularly the historian of religion, must be relentlessly self-conscious. Indeed, this self consciousness constitutes his primary expertise, his foremost object of study.”
- J. Z. Smith, Imagining Religion
This project aims 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). The project draws attention to the limitations of the predominant world religions paradigm (WRP) 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.
