Producing Public Religious Education in Our Current Time, sponsored by the NABPR

This event convenes scholars, practitioners, and media producers working at the intersection of religion, public life, and digital humanities to explore how religious knowledge is created, translated, and shared in contemporary public contexts. 

The program will open with a featured presentation on the Healing Our Sacred Lake podcast, created by Adam DJ Brett and Betty Hill (Lyons). This project centers Indigenous knowledge, Haudenosaunee sovereignty, and environmental justice through the ongoing work to restore Onondaga Lake. 

Following the presentation, the panel “Producing Public Religious Education in Our Current Time” brings together six contributors working in three collaborative teams, each representing distinct production relationships across podcasting and public education platforms. Panelists will discuss the practical, ethical, and theoretical dimensions of producing public-facing religious content today, including questions of audience, authority, representation, and medium.

The session is sponsored by the National Association of Baptist Professors of Religion, NABPR.
