Anja Hennig teaches comparative politics at European University Viadrina and is working on a project on shifting boundaries between religion and politics. Her research particularly focuses on two areas where religion and politics in contemporary Europe collide most notably: moral politics and the political regulation of religious pluralism. Embedded in current critical debates about the secularization-paradigm, her recent book analyzes how political decision-makers cooperate with religious representatives in the course of conflicts surrounding abortion and same-sex-partnership in Poland, Italy, and Spain since 1990. She received her Ph.D. from European University Viadrina at Frankfurt/Oder in Germany and has studied political science in Potsdam, Berlin, and Wrocław.
