The BASR Committee notes the on-going situations in Ukraine and Gaza, and the role of religion in peace initiatives and fuelling violence, in both places. The Committee would like to point members, friends and colleagues to the following statements issued by the British Academy and the International Sociological Association regarding Ukraine and Gaza, respectively. As scholars of religion it is our duty to nurture safe spaces so that critical, evidence-based and respectful dialogue can take place.
