The cooperative and Janice McRandal are thrilled to be a part of the 2021-2023 grant winning research project Figuring the Enemy: Socio-Cognitive and Political Theological Approaches to the Question of Enmity. Figuring the Enemy investigates the structures that produce and disguise forms of enmity. In using methodologies from political theology the project will explore the genealogical roots of contemporary forms of enmity, and in using socio-cognitive approaches to theology and religion the project will examine the psychological dynamics of enmity. Integrating these two methodological approaches through collaboration hosted by the University of Divinity and the University of St Andrews, the project will produce innovative approaches to both disciplines, as well as impactful research exploring the roots of contemporary forms of enmity.
