Dr Paul-Francois Tremlett is head of the department of Religious Studies at The Open University.

Paul pursued his undergraduate degree in Social Anthropology and the Study of Religions at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). With a regional specialisation in Southeast Asia, he decided to continue his studies and enrolled on the PhD programme in the Study of Religions department at SOAS, with a focus on local religion and national identity in the Philippines at a specific site – the extinct volcano Mount Banahaw. Banahaw is home to a number of independent churches notable for their veneration of both the mountain itself and Filipino nationalist Jose Rizal. Since then, Paul’s research has increasingly reflected his interest in religion and processes of rapid social and spatial change. He is currently engaged in research on the Occupy camps that were set up in London and Hong Kong in 2011.
