About
Since 2005, my research has focused upon the interplay between Catholicism and violence in Papua New Guinea, with special emphasis on the role of Mary in the context of domestic violence in Port Moresby and Madang, and her role during and after the Bougainville crisis. Since 2008, I have been doing research on the ideological underpinnings of the Bougainville, Solomon Islands and North Moluccas (Indonesia) conflicts in terms of religion and gender. This has provided insight into the interplay between religion (Christianity and Islam), ritual, new religious movements, nationalism, and violence, and the processes by which men and women are mobilised for war- and / or peacemaking.
