Reviewing our data, we used the last half year for writing up results. The first presentable outcome of this process is an article in which we dare a first comparison of modes of welfare in Wales and Ireland. The key elements for this comparison are interviews and observations that we gathered in both countries in so called ‘foodbanks’. Therefore, mostly volunteers and users of these food provision institutions get to have a say.

The article will be published in printed form in the German Journal ‘Zeitschrift für Religion, Gesellschaft und Politik’ in spring:

We also wrote a first draft and pre-study of this article in English. This Text will be printed in an forthcoming edited volume on ‘Religion in Contexts’:
