Speaking on Interfaith: why we need to work together

Dr Michael’s work seeks to deepen our understanding of the increasingly complex and often volatile social, political and cultural environments. He explores dialogue as a way to bring differing groups together to explore alternative visions. His work provides both governmental and non-governmental agencies with new possibilities for defusing polarisation and maximising the prospects for constructive engagement, through mutually enriching intercultural, interfaith and interethnic dialogue.
