WRITING THE BIBLE
THE RELIGION, RACE & DEMOCRACY LAB
The Religion, Race & Democracy Lab (2018–2024) supported teaching, facilitated research, and produced stories in many forms on religion, race, and democracy. It was committed to the idea that learning more about how religion and race work with democratic societies can help us to live together in today’s pluralistic and increasingly global societies.
In addition to featuring the exciting work of it faculty and student partners (available on the website), the Lab continues to host it podcast, Sacred & Profane, which is available on the website and on iTunes.
