One of the vital features of the life of a department of religious studies (and of every other field or subject) is supervising PhD students. Since 2001 we have celebrated the successful completion of PhDs by twenty of our students. Our most recent PhD graduates were awarded their degrees at a ceremony in London’s Barbican Centre in March 2014. They were Dr Sarah Flew and Dr Max Fras. Sarah’s thesis was about the finance of Anglican home missions in late Victorian London. Max’s was about the Catholic Church and public life in post-Communist Poland. We look forward to seeing publications arising from these theses soon.
