The aim of this work package is to

* to undertake research on the intersections between gender, migration and religion, with particular emphasis on the development of transnational migrant identities based on global religious communities and the significance of gender relations therein.

* to develop an alternative framework for understanding religious institutions and/or practices as social spaces of intercultural interaction with particular emphasis on identifying examples of best practices of inter-religious dialogue.

* to explore policy and theoretical perspectives through which both conflict and dialogue between different religions, as well as between religion and secularism, can be accommodated.

* to examine the contexts and contents of women’s dialogue across religious and secular organizations and associations, and to investigate the emergence of terrains of dialogue among women of different religions and political cultures that grow out of transversal alliances and multiple identifications.
