Interfaith America builds communities of practice to unlock the positive role of religion in health. We connect health programs, faith-based organizations, and health leaders to bridge religion and health in support of human flourishing.
We are convening faculty in religious studies who are interested in collaborating with health-related fields on their campuses to integrate religious diversity into pre-health education.
At this gathering, we will share Interfaith America’s work on integrating religious diversity into pre-health programs and engage in informal, roundtable discussions with fellow educators and practitioners

How have South Asian traditions responded to plurality and difference? The question lies at the centre of this collection, inviting us to challenge established conceptions of pluralism and understand South Asian ways of thinking about difference, diversity, and 'the other'. This diverse collection is the first in-depth treatment of the variety of ways that South Asian traditions theorise plurality. Bringing together case studies across South Asia's distinctive religious landscape, it marks a significant contribution to re-thinking pluralism in the 21st century.
