The Boniuk Institute's Center on Religion, Science, Health, and Environment (CORSHE) will explore the connections of religion to science, health, and the environment. Religion and science, religion and medicine, and religion and the environment are all growing areas of research involving subfields across religious studies, philosophy, history, sociology, psychology, and the natural sciences. The Center will explore the following research questions:
-
What do scientists think about religion and spirituality?
-
What do religious people think about science and why does it matter for science acceptance?
-
How do different social groups use religion (instead of/ alongside of medicine) to understand the care of their bodies/ medical trust, etc.?
