Dr Abby Day

Dr Abby Day will be starting two externally-funded research grant projects in the Department during 2011/12. In October, Dr Day begins a 12 month AHRC/ESRC Public Sector Placement Fellowship with the British Council exploring belief in cross-cultural relations. In January, she will start a two year ESRC-funded project exploring the significance of women in later life for the Church of England, as well as their contribution to civil society. Dr Day comes with a successful track record of previous grant awards from the ESRC, and her monograph 'Believing in Belonging: Belief and Social Identity in the Modern World' is due to be published by Oxford University Press in October. Dr Day is also currently chair of the British Sociological Association's Sociology of Religion study group, and the only qualitative researcher to be involved as an advisor for the 2011 National Census.
