The Department of Religious Studies is delighted to announce that Danielle Shalet has been awarded a PhD in Theology and Religious Studies, under the supervision of Dr Chris Deacy, with a thesis entitled ‘Ghosts in the Machine: Reassessing the Evolution of Science/Religion Phenomena – Alternative Perspectives’.
Her thesis is an in-depth critical analysis of the nature of the science/religion relationship. It exposes the problems associated with the many fallacies related to these phenomena, and evaluates the reasons behind certain perceptions. It outlines the damage done through years of misconceiving and misunderstanding the concepts of science and religion, and addresses what led to such inadequacies in interpretation, emphasizing the use of insufficient and archaic methodologies.
Our congratulations to Dr Shalet.
