This semester, I have the pleasure to switch departments and I am delighted to be teaching at the Protestant Theological Faculty once again. Currently, I am working on the project "Between Intensification and Relativisation: Modalities and Mechanisms of Religious Change among Muslim and Christian Refugees from Syria in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland," based at the Faculty of Sociology. In this project, we are examining the transformation of religion through migration, focusing on refugees from Syria. I am also supervising the project "Encountering Theology: Theology of Migrant Churches" in Bochum. My academic passion lies with the Middle East and those communities that have shaped Christian life there over centuries—often under crisis conditions, as is the case again today. Furthermore, I am interested in topics such as migration, migrant churches, and religious plurality. In both my research and my teaching, , I seek to make visible the historical depth and contemporary dynamics of religious expressions and to enable students to engage with the complex entanglements of religion, migration, and societal transformation.
