The LASAR (Learning about Science and Religion) Research Centre

LASAR aims to help students (broadly conceived), parents/carers, educators, communicators and the wider public to engage with Big Questions that bridge science, religion and the wider humanities. We design and test resources, structures and activities that encourage interest in Big Questions and foster epistemic curiosity, creativity and critical thinking about the nature, application and communication of knowledge. LASAR has developed a research network consisting of a consortium of universities and educational institutions. We plan to continue to create a research community where research expertise and experience is developed and shared within the Centre, the faculty and wider academic community. Our partners help us to discover new contexts for our existing findings and new questions to explore.
