Public-facing Programming
Identifying and Advancing the Spiritual Infrastructure of the Future draws together scholars, religious leaders, educators, journalists, and students to inform the public conversation on religion and spirituality. The project will advance public knowledge and understanding of the spiritual infrastructure of the future by sharing its findings through both legacy and new media, including traditional news outlets, a series of public-facing events, and media training for researchers and doctoral students in religion and adjacent fields.
This page will be updated as the project’s outreach launches and grows.
