Religious Education in a Global-Local World, 1st ed. 2016 Boundaries of Religious Freedom: Regulating Religion in Diverse Societies Series, Vol. 4
Jenny Berglund is Associate Professor and senior lecturer. Her particular area of interest concerns the matter of Islam and minority religious education. This is reflected in her 2009 dissertation Teaching Islam, Islamic Religious Education at Muslim Schools in Sweden (Waxmann), which examined the formation of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) as a confessional subject under the jurisdiction of the Swedish school system. Since earning her PhD, Jenny has collaborated on the editing of several Swedish books, in which her own contributions have generally dealt with Islam in Sweden. She is also working with the project "Religion as a Resource", which concerns the lives, values, relations, leisure time activities and religious interests of Sweden's youth populations. Her particular task in this regard has been to analyse the questionnaire responses of Muslim participants. Jenny has also been part of the project TRATEBB (Teaching Religion and Thinking Education at the Baltic-Barent Brim),a research project designed to study religious education at four sets of "twin-schools" located on either side of four state boundaries in the Baltic-Barent region. Berglund is a committee member of EASR (European Association for the Study of Religion) and is actively involved in the organization's working group on religious education. She has initiated (and personally participates in) a teacher exchange program with the Centre for Women's Studies at the University of Jordan. From 2014, she will be working with a new project called CARDIPS (Cultural and religious diversity in primary school).
