PhD scholarship within the project Coloring White Habits
Offer DescriptionThe broader project brings attention to the unacknowledged normativity of whiteness and seeks to provide interventions that redress some unexamined behaviours and practices in the Church, especially parishes in Belgium and Austria. While all manner of diversities are present in the Roman Catholic Church, as it is the largest Christian group in Europe and the largest non-profit organization worldwide, the idea of Christianity as an identity that includes racial diversity may contradict perceptions of the public in Europe.
