Religious scholar and historian, public lecturer and teacher. Conducts scientific research in the field of the current state of religion and gender.
“It seems to me that the history of religion is the shortest path to understanding what goes on in people’s heads. And there is nothing more interesting than people in the world. It may, of course, seem that religious studies is something special and abstruse. This is partly true, but there is no such complex material that cannot be presented clearly and interestingly. Unless, of course, the listener is afraid of the new, because in the religions of the world, especially in unusual, distant religions, there is a lot that calls into question even our most ordinary ideas."
