It is my great pleasure to announce a cooperative project on the place and role of religion in development work. Together with colleagues in the United Kingdom and Britain, we are embarking on a project focussed on a number of cities, including in Cape Town. For this, I have a Phd fellowship for anyone who wants to work in this area in Cape Town. Please get in touch with me as soon as possible. Share this post with your contacts. I would very much appreciate it.
