Research Centers and Affiliates

To broaden the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance's research foci and intellectual discovery, and to foster interdisciplinary conversations, the Institute is in the process of launching two research centers and has entered into collaborative agreements with additional Rice University programs. Each of these centers and programs is comprised of multiple scholars and faculty at Rice University and beyond, and work together to support and collaborate on academic and outreach programming and research projects related to religion.
