Biography

Niels Reeh is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Southern Denmark. He received his Ph.D. in sociology of religion from the University of Copenhagen in 2007. His doctoral thesis focused on political decision-making processes in the context of religious education in Denmark, highlighting the state's regulation of religion. Reeh's work has uncovered the dynamic relationships between religious groups and the sociological implications of secularization, often neglected in previous studies. He has also made significant contributions to the field of digital humanities, demonstrating how digital searches can transform historical narratives about religion. Reeh has experience as an academic lecturer at various institutions, including a visiting scholar position at UC Berkeley. He has been involved in significant research funding initiatives and collaborative projects exploring the intersecting realms of sociology, religion, and education. His scholarly output includes numerous peer-reviewed articles addressing issues such as collective consciousness within religious studies and the evolvement of religious education in Denmark. Reeh has actively participated in international conferences and panels discussing inter-religious relations and digital humanities within the study of religion.
