Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
This workshop provides important networking and dialogue opportunity for anyone involved in leading or supporting an institute, center, or program that engages with religion in public life. This is an ongoing venue to share best practices, pool ideas, and develop collaborations. In this session, we will discuss current challenges and opportunities surrounding religion in public life and advancing public understanding of religion as well as practical and structural issues tied to centers such as funding.
