Research project, BRIC-19

Prayer in the age of COVID.
Dr Katja Stuerzenhofecker's investigation of Jewish Orthodox female-only online prayer groups has brought to light important insights into the religious and quotidian motivations and needs of women and girls. Some of the findings are specific to current conditions under the pandemic, but many concern perennial issues that will live on in the after-times such as accessibility, participation and leadership. Research participants who attend the prayer groups are invited to learn more about the findings and give their feedback on 11 July. This is part of the research project 'Social Distance, Digital Congregation: British Ritual Innovation under Covid-19'. Further information.
