Steveen's research focuses on rethinking Haitian Vodou: everyday religiosity, modernity, transnationalism and decolonisation.
Steveen Ulysse is a Postgraduate Researcher in Sociology at the University of Glasgow. His research mainly focuses on the exploration of Vodou as form of modern cosmopolitanism and its links with other Afro-based religious traditions, highlighting how these traditions shape certain identities, particularly in the diaspora.
His research interests intersect with Yoruba religious practices, and how these practices have been creolised, giving birth to other new and interesting ways of knowing, and understanding the world around us.
Through the JMS Scholarship, Steveen will continue his explorations of Afro-bases religious practices, using Glissant's concept of archipelago, to present the diaspora as a space that is apart, but far from being disconnected.
