Research interests

  • Apostasy, atheism, humanism, and other varieties of non-religiosity
  • The role of ignorance and non-knowledge in refugee status determination systems
  • Conflicts and tensions in non-religious social movements and publics

 

My doctoral research is focused on 'apostate refugees': atheist, humanist, and other non-religious asylum seekers in the United Kingdom - and the people and organizations that support them.
