Christina Freund

Christina Freund serves as a Research Associate at the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) and doctoral candidate in the Graduate School RePliV at Ruhr University Bochum, investigating how European museums communicate religious diversity through qualitative comparative frameworks.

She earned a Master of Arts in Museum and Exhibition Studies from Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, including thesis research on national identity in WWI museums, and a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology/European Ethnology from Georg-August University of Göttingen with ERASMUS+ studies at University of Rennes 2.

Her research integrates museum studies, religious studies, and cultural anthropology to analyze religious plurality mediation, national narratives in historical exhibitions, and inclusive disability representation, employing interdisciplinary methodologies that bridge academic theory with museum practice.

Freund actively contributes to the "Regional Regulation of Religious Plurality in Comparison" research group through RePliV, collaborating on European case studies examining institutional approaches to religious diversity while presenting findings at conferences like the German Society for Research and Education doctoral forum.
