Biography

John Hagström is a PhD student at the School of Social and Political Science, focusing on the intersections of atheism, humanism, and non-religious social movements. His doctoral research centers on 'apostate refugees,' specifically atheist, humanist, and non-religious asylum seekers in the United Kingdom. He examines the roles and challenges these individuals face, particularly regarding their determinations of refugee status and the broader societal implications of their non-religiosity. Through his studies, Hagström contributes to discussions surrounding conflicts and tensions within non-religious public discourses, aiming to highlight the support systems available for marginalized groups. His recent publications include works on the anthropology of non-religion and the representation of secularizing movements in the UK. He is actively engaged in research that leverages People Analytics to improve the accessibility and usability of digital platforms, ensuring that analytics data aligns with user needs and preferences. Additionally, he collaborates on projects that analyze the representation of non-religious perspectives in media, contributing to the evolving discourse on secularism and public engagement.
