Successful applicants will be given the opportunity to join a university wide masterclass providing comprehensive support in the development of the application.
CRS RESEARCH INITIATIVE ON CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY AND SOCIAL TRANSITION
The network gathers researchers from departments of theology, political science, behavioral sciences and law to act as a core group facilitating research collaboration and development between researchers from different scientific disciplines within our already existing research networks. The network will promote the collaboration of the university and our research with civil society and climate change governance stakeholders today.
A Changing Church
Researchers in law and sociology of religion are coming together in this initiative to mark the 25th anniversary of the change in the Church of Sweden's relationship with the state. We are studying interdisciplinary how the Church of Sweden's mission and administration have developed during this time, whether the change processes have affected the Church of Sweden's identity and how it is perceived, and how it lives up to being an open people's church with a democratic organization that has nationwide operations.
Existential Health and Youth
Health and well-being have gradually declined among young people in Sweden in recent decades. At the same time, the concept of existential health has become interesting in research to understand and promote the life situation of young people. The network brings together researchers in psychology, religious studies, law, palliative care, social medicine, literary studies, gender studies, informatics and media, and educational sociology to take a collective approach to research on young people's health. The network also includes a group of young people who will be active participants in the research process.
The research network Church, Class and Capitalism
This interdisciplinary network has been created to connect historically oriented sociology of religion and socially oriented church history with the aim of establishing a foundation for future research on the Church of Sweden and the role of free church movements in the modernization of Swedish society.
Funerals as a social phenomenon in past and present
During the 1990s at the Centre for Theology and Religious studies at Lund University, a number of larger research projects focussing on funerals were conducted. Since then, in Sweden further research has been conducted, but surprisingly few larger projects in the field have been carried out. The aim of the network is to address the lack of research by bringing together researchers who have carried out, are undertaking or planning research within the field and to do this in collaboration with practitioners in the area such as funeral directors and cemetary management.
IPS Network
IPS Network isrun by Pentecostal – archive and research. It presents reference material, sources, current information, and offers space for interaction and knowledge exchange with an interest in Pentecostalism as a hub. Since 2014, books, essays, journals and unpublished documents about the Pentecostal movement and other Pentecostal movements have been available on IPS Network. The works in this electronic library are particularly difficult to obtain or, in our opinion, particularly important. These are made available with the explicit permission of the authors. IPS Network is administered by Magnus Wahlström at Pentecostal FFS.
Migration as a legal and political process
Migration as a legal and political process is a cross-cutting initiative where several faculties and departments collaborate to improve and deepen current specialist competence on migration at Uppsala University.
Network for the Historical Study of National Christianities
The Network for the Historical Study of National Christianities is a network consisting of senior and junior researchers in the history of education, history and church history.
RESEARCH INITIATIVE: HUMAN RIGHTS IN SWEDEN AT LOCAL LEVEL
