  • The Study of Religion in the UK in Its Institutional Context
    KIM KNOTT The Study of Religion in the UK in its Institutional Context THE STUDY OF RELIGION IN THE UK IN ITS INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT How has the study of religion in the UK been shaped by its institutional contexts? Consideration is given to the Christian and secular foundations of universities and higher education colleges, the relationship of theology and religious studies, and the impact of institutional structures and drivers associated with teaching and research. The formation of ‘TRS’ as an instrumental and contested subject area is discussed, as is the changing curriculum. Research on religion is examined in relation to new institutional pressures and opportunities: the assessment of university research and the public funding of research. The importance of the impact agenda and capacity building are illustrated. The nineteenth century roots of religious studies (Religionswissenschaft) in Britain lie in the work of scholars such as Max Muller, E.B. Tylor, J.E. Carpenter and T.W. Rhys Davids. Britain hosted the third IAHR Congress in 1908 in Oxford, but the British Association for the History of Religions (later to become the British Association for the Study of Religions) was not founded until 1954, with E.O. James and Geoffrey Parrinder as two of its founder members. Although a Manchester Chair of Comparative Religion was established in 1904, and a Department of Theology and Religious Studies was opened at the University of Leeds in the 1930s, it was not until 1967 that the first autonomous non-theological Department of Religious Studies was opened, at Lancaster University, with Ninian Smart as its first Chair.

  • HISTORISK TIDSKRIFT (Sweden)
    HISTORISK TIDSKRIFT (Sweden) 131:1 • 2011 ÖVERSIKT 21 författare om 22 regeringschefer bo g. hall Uppsala universitet Per T. Ohlsson & Mats Bergstrand (red.), Sveriges statsministrar under 100 år, box om 22 böcker (Stockholm: Albert Bonniers förlag 2010). Under vissa perioder har ett vanligt tvisteämne bland historiker och statsvetare slagordsmässigt brukat formuleras: struktur eller aktör? Dis- kussionen har alltså avsett vilka faktorer som väger tyngst när historien förs framåt. Numera får väl en viss konsensus anses råda om att båda har betydelse. Kanske kan dock någon övervikt gälla till förmån för den enskilde individens roll och faktiska möjligheter när det gäller att påverka utvecklingen. Ett stöd för en sådan ståndpunkt är att Albert Bonniers förlag på senvåren 2010 tog det goda initiativet att ge ut en så kallad box med biografier över Sveriges statsministrar under de senaste 100 åren. Såvitt jag vet har inte något liknande publicerats efter Valfrid Spångbergs Från Arvid Posse till Per Albin Hansson: svenska statsminist- rar, riksdagsmän och publicister (1936), Sven Swenssons Från De Geer till Per Albin: de svenska statsministrarna (1945) samt Olof Ruins Statsminis- ter: från Tage Erlander till Göran Persson (2007). Överlag är dessa dock betydligt mindre ambitiösa och ger begränsat utrymme åt varje reger- ingschef. Denna gång kom uppslaget från en duo samhällsjournalister med förankring i två av våra största morgontidningar: Per T. Ohlsson på Sydsvenska dagbladet och Mats Bergstrand, i många år redaktör för Dagens nyheters debattsida. Totalt innehåller boxen 22 häften med korta biografier – högst 128 sidor – över följande svenska regeringschefer: Karl Staaff (författad av Peter Esaiasson), Arvid Lindman (Leif Lewin), Hjalmar Hammarsköld (Mats Svegfors), Carl Swartz (Eva Helen Ulvros), Nils Edén (Gunnar historisk tidskrift 131:1 • 2011 21 fÖrfattare oM 22 regeringschefer 57 Wetterberg), Hjalmar Branting (Lars Ilshammar), Louis De Geer (Johan- nes Åman), Oscar von Sydow (Per Svensson), Ernst Trygger (MarieLouise Samuelsson), Rickard Sandler (Per T.

    ABSTRACT The Great American Disappointment: An Introduction to the Great Disappointment Theory as a Way to Explain the Unique Evolutionary Processes of Socially-Guided Religion by Means of American Civil Religion Ethan Gjerset Quillen, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Ph.D. America is unique when compared to the rest of the world for many reasons, but especially so for its religion. To this, as human beings evolve socially, in the same way animal species evolve in order to seek out variable fitness toward survival, their religion follows suit. This has been particularly so in the United States where absolute religious freedom makes way for one of three processes of evolution within the American Church of Civil Religion. These three processes, Atheism, Fundamentalism and New Religious Movements, become the direction in which Americans evolve their religious beliefs in the wake of socially- guided religious disappointment. This Great Dis appointment Theory, based on the results of William Miller‟s Great Disappointment in the 19 th century, helps explain the means by which Americans, who act as individuals within an immigrant nation, are able to come together as a congregation within the American Church of Civil Religion.

We will include the major contributions made by Brian in the institutions in which he has taught, with particular attention to our own Bath Spa University. The title “study of religions” - contributed by a student of Brian's - implies something about both content and methodology as well as his attitude towards students as co-participants and potential colleagues.
