Three new doctors in Madina Project interviewed by Leiden University

Martin Luther Darko, Kauthar Khamis and Rashida Adum-Atta, the three new doctors that successfully defended their PhD dissertations at Leiden University in the framework of the Madina Project (part of the wider research programme Religious Matters in an Entangled World) on 2 June, were interviewed by the University news desk.

 

The Madina Project is a collaboration between the African Studies Centre Leiden, Utrecht University, and the University of Ghana. The three each examined different aspects of everyday religious coexistence in Madina, a diverse suburb of Accra, Ghana. Their research explored how Christians, Muslims and practitioners of African Traditional Religion navigate shared spaces through health care, beauty practices and food exchange.

 

Leiden University wrote an article about their research and the insights it offers into peaceful coexistence in a multi-religious community.
