Postdoctoral Fellow, Goldsmiths, University of London
A Postdoctoral Fellow of both the Religion and Diversity Project, University of Ottawa and the Faiths and Civil Society Unit, Goldsmiths, University of London, Tim Stacey is interested in the role of religion and belief, or 'myth' as he prefers, in developing solidarity, with special attention to the implications for politics, public policy and practice.
With degrees in Philosophy and Theology (BA, University of Nottingham), and Philosophical Theology (MA Distinction, University of Nottingham), alongside doctoral training in social scientific research methods, and professional training in community organising, he explores the insights of philosophy, religion and belief empirically.
Tim has experience in numerous methods, but has a preference for ethnography. He has assisted in developing successful funding bids both within the college, and with a range of funders including the AHRC. He is a member of several funded research networks and working groups, with ties to politicians, policy makers and practitioners.
