Religion and Neoliberal Culture: Changing Times, Changing Identities

Dr Mathew Guest is Professor in the Sociology of Religion at Durham University, having taught in its Department of Theology and Religion since 2004.

His research is organised around two main themes: the status of religion within context of higher education, and the ways in which the assumptions of neoliberal economics influence how religion is expressed and relates to its cultural contexts. His most recent book is Neoliberal Religion: Faith and Power in the 21st Century (Bloomsbury 2022).
