About this blog

The Religion Factor is an initiative of the Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society, University of Groningen, coordinated by fellows and students affiliated with the Centre for Religion, Conflict and Globalization in collaboration with Centre Religion, Health and Wellbeing, the Centre for Religion and Heritage and the Institute of Indian Studies.
