Finding Success in Religious Pluralism Interventions

Overview

Today’s society is experiencing heightened polarization and animosity that is eroding trust in institutions and others. In light of this, developing effective bridging programs to mitigate partisan animosity is becoming increasingly difficult. IHS invites those who are interested in improving bridging programs—specifically those working in religious contexts—to join us on February 26 from 1:00 to 2:30 PM Eastern Time for a workshop on how to use insights from academic research to design effective bridging interventions.

Speakers will include Paul Lendway of Yale University, Trent Ollerenshaw of University of Houston, and Kristin Lunz Trujillo of University of South Carolina.

The program will begin with brief presentations from the speakers discussing best practices around design and implementation of bridging interventions. Participants will then have the opportunity to join the speakers for Q&A in breakout rooms to get practical, research-backed advice, discuss their organizations’ methodologies, and network with other practitioners.

Applicants from organizations that are actively engaged in religious bridging work will be given preference.
