The Figuring the Enemy research project—a collaboration of Trinity College and the University of St Andrews—is holding its first conference for 2022. Gathering scholars from psychology, sociology, biblical studies and theology this conference will be a broad interdisciplinary engagement on the origins of, and approaches to, religious enmity.

- Dr Elizabeth Shively (Divinity, University of St Andrews),
- Dr Ken Mavor (Psychology, University of St Andrews),
- Dr Samuel Perry (Sociology, University of Oklahoma), and
- Dr J. Brian Tucker (Bible and Theology, Moody Theological Seminary)
