University and BBC co-create exciting Religions and Theology learning tool

A team of academics from the Religions and Theology department at The University of Manchester have created ' Going Beyond Belief ', a new learning resource for A Level students, with the support of the BBC Beyond Belief team. The resource has been conceived to support students in schools and colleges to access a collection of innovative research produced by researchers at the University and the rich resource that is the Beyond Belief archive. Designed for students studying Religion, Ethics and Philosophy at A Level, the resource is a collaboration between academics from the Religions and Theology Department and the team behind BBC Radio 4's 'Beyond Belief' programme. "It's an exciting and unique way to learn about Religions and Theology," said Holly Morse, senior lecturer in Bible, Gender and Culture at The University of Manchester, who has co-ordinated the development of the resource. "Initial discussions about the resource began when I was invited to take part in a beyond belief episode on femininity and religion by the producer at the time, Amanda Hancox. "It was after the recording when we began to chat more about the history of Beyond Belief, and the amazing archive of episodes.
