Tobias Adam
Research Associate
Tobias Adam is a doctoral candidate at the Chair of Practical Theology and a research associate at the University Research Priority Program Digital Religion(s) at the University of Zurich. In his dissertation, he investigates how eco-spirituality in postdigital contexts—beyond a purely human-centered perspective—shapes the interconnection of all life and the role it plays in addressing ecological crises. In addition, he contributes to subprojects on Digital Youth Faith Formation and ecofeminist theology. His research interests include more-than-human approaches in Practical Theology, qualitative research methods, and spirituality as lived faith in everyday life and activism.
