My PhD research examined the shift from "religion" to "spirituality," which has, in recent years, transformed the religious landscape of the West. From 2015-2019, I undertook qualitative research consisting of interviews and participant observation with both those who self-identify as "spiritual but not religious" and Charismatic Christians in order to better understand the character and consequences of the "spiritual turn" in liberal democracies.
I am presently expanding my thesis into a book titled, The Religion of the Heart: Spirituality and the Making of Romantic Liberal Modernity.
For my Banting postdoctoral fellowship (2020-2022), based at KU Leuven's Centre for Sociological Research in Belgium, I will continue my research on the "spiritual turn," examining its implications for the world of work in the twenty-first century.
