Research focus

My research focuses on Ritual, Liturgy and Homiletics. The list of publications and PhD students and their

research topics below provide an indication of the kinds of themes that my students and I pursue. Currently, I

coordinate a new research project entitled African Homiletics. Other projects include liturgy and ritual in

context (including reconciliation and justice, social capital & poverty and inequality), as well as liturgy, ritual

and literature.
