THE REPRESENTATION OF RELIGION IN CONFLICT
This research will examine how religions are portrayed in the public sphere in post-conflict contexts, including the media, educational resources, and other sources. It will gather empirical data about the extent that religions are portrayed either as agents of violence or of peace, and formulate normative questions about how these portrayals may help or hinder reconciliation processes. This research will be carried out by social scientists and experts for interpretation and ethics of media, literature and art. They will draw on existing literature and new case studies.
