Further to the Understanding Unbelief programme joining the University of Kent, calls for proposals for Early Career Awards as part of the programme are now open.

The Understanding Unbelief programme is led by Dr Lois Lee from the Department of Religious Studies, along with Professor Stephen Bullivant (St Mary’s University, Twickenham), Dr Miguel Farias (Coventry University) and Dr Jonathan Lanman (Queen’s University Belfast), and is majorly funded through a generous grant from John Templeton Foundation.

The Early Career Awards stream will provide £120,000 to support contributions from early career researchers to the task of advancing our empirical understanding of the array of phenomena commonly labelled ‘unbelief’.

Through the programme, the University of Kent will make around 8 awards of around £15,000 for research activities lasting up to 18 months (proposals for research activities of shorter duration are also welcomed).

Funding may be used to support a number of research activities, including new research, further dissemination of existing research and seed funding for the development of future research projects.

Further details, including eligibility requirements and the application procedure, please refer to the information sheet provided by selecting of the two following formats:
