This title was first published in 2000. The place of religion in
universities and institutes of higher education has become
increasingly topical and contested in recent years, largely due to
the growth of religious diversity on campus. Issues such as shared
worship spaces, equal opportunities, and the management of
inter-religious conflict, concern university administrators and
students alike. Based on primary empirical research, this book
indicates the need for clear guidelines on these issues and
provides the data to inform policy-making. Offering the first study
of the practical and sociological implications of the multi-faith
campus, this book provides a context for examining some of the
dynamics of religious diversity in Britain more generally as well
as providing a useful analysis for the wider international context.
Key themes covered include: religion in institutions; inter-faith
relations; the changing roles of religious professionals;
secularisation and resacralisation; and religion, youth and
identity. Exploring questions about why claims for the recognition
of different religious identities are becoming so contested, to
what extent religious activity should be regulated and monitored on
campus, and how institutions are challenged in different ways by
diversity, this book contributes both in method and conclusions to
the debate about the provision of religious and spiritual care in
public institutions in a multicultural society. Religion in Higher
Education will be essential reading for all those responsible for
the practical management of campus life, as well as those
interested in the sociology of religion and, more broadly, in
contemporary religion in Britain.
