Trust, Polarization, and Religious Pluralism

Overview

In the spirit of sustaining diverse societies, the Institute for Humane Studies is convening an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore how religious pluralism interacts with trust and polarization in liberal democracies. 

Join us online for a discussion panel followed by breakout conversations where you can discuss ideas, share your expertise, and tackle pressing questions with other scholars.

This event takes place online on August 9, beginning with opening remarks at 3:00 PM Eastern Time and concluding with breakout discussions from 4:00 to 5:00 PM.

Please come prepared to discuss your current research and share ideas for future academic research or public-facing work, such as op-eds, on trust, polarization, and religious pluralism. 

If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
