Welcome to the LSE Religion and Global Society podcast where we explore how religion shapes the way we think about critical global challenges and how faith inspires people and initiatives worldwide. 

As part of our Global Religious Pluralities project, one of our research strands has focused on women of faith involved in peacebuilding. In this podcast series, our Research Officer Lindsay Simmonds will be talking to women around the world about their personal faith and belief journeys, their experiences as women in their religious and professional communities, and the work they do promoting peace.
