I now hold a position as Assistant Professor of Religion in International Relations at the Centre for the Study of Religion, Leiden University (the Netherlands). I teach in a variety of bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s programmes spanning my diverse research interests, including in humanities-based international studies and international relations programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-quote cu-component-spacing\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The MA in Political Science at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ afforded great flexibility in course selection, allowing me to pursue my interests in international politics from a variety of thematic, even disciplinary, angles.
