As Alexandre Antoine (EPHE-PSL) is going to defend tomorrow his PhD Thesis on the History of the Assemblies of God in France (1909-1968), it's time to highlight this stimulating European research network on Pentecostalism:
The European Research Network on Global Pentecostalism (GloPent) is an interdisciplinary academic networking initiative coordinated by experts on Pentecostal and Charismatic movements at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the University of Basel, the University of Birmingham, the University of Cambridge, the University of Heidelberg, SOAS University of London, and the University of Uppsala.
We are interested in:
- Networking active research about Pentecostal and Charismatic movements worldwide, with a special focus on Africa, Asia, and Latin America
- Promoting scientific exchange through our conferences, our journal PentecoStudies, our mailing list, and our website
- Giving scholars a wider platform to introduce their work in Pentecostal Studies by providing bibliographies, papers, news, and links
- Providing academic information about global Pentecostalism to the European academia
- Providing study resources for the scholarly community, such as our dedicated GloPent Web Search Engine on Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements
- Facilitating discussion on theory and method in Pentecostal Studies
- Stimulating academic publications in Pentecostal Studies
