Type: KEGA

Project Annotation:
The aim of the project is to create a new content and form of a course focused on sociology of religion, taught at Comenius University in Bratislava, to create its form usable in distance education through various online and offline tools such as Moodle or MS Teams in an appropriate didactic and visual form and the related publication of a university textbook. Content-wise, the course and the textbook will focus on the identification of various new and traditional forms of religious life in the contemporary world, the reflection on religion in the perspective of a hermeneutically based interpretation of the contemporary religious situation and its relevance in a secular society for its stronger integration (or risks of disintegration), and the related problems of the relationship between religion and human rights in the present. An innovative element in this kind of course will be that the topics contextualized in a global framework will also be specifically focused on the situation in Slovakia. The textbook should be widely available and should reach a large number of higher education institutions in Slovakia that also have courses on the sociology of religion or broader social scientific reflection on religion as part of their curricula. They should also reach out to the wider non-professional public. Inter-university collaboration on the project should also contribute to the wider reach of the course and the textbook
