Current research

A theology of shame. Investigating an interdisciplinary source material on shame (psychology, sociology, philosophy, and theology), the project develops a theology of shame which takes into account the ambiguities of this phenomenon. The main research question is: how do live with shame between shamefulness and shamelessness? The Carlsberg foundation supports this project in two years from April 1 2019.
