Kudos to the RELS Religion and Public University Collaborative!

Faculty in the Religious Studies Program have received a Faculty Driven Initiative Award from the University of Minnesota's Institute for Diversity, Equity, and Advocacy (IDEA) to augment the work of the Religion and the Public University Collaborative, sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Study.  The award will be used to bring in a nationally noted speaker on the subject of religion and public education and to host faculty and staff conversations regarding religion and the UMN campus climate. The activities will be led by co-PIs Jeanne Kilde (RELS), Virajita Singh (OED/CDES), Penny Edgell (Sociology) and Aisha Ghani (ANTH/RELS).
