Research Centers and Programs

Broadening Our Intellectual Discovery

The Boniuk Institute is home to the Religion and Public Life Center, launched in August 2024, and has partnered with two Rice University programs focused on the study of religion: The Baker Institute's Religion and Public Policy Program and the Program in Jewish Studies. In this way, the Institute broadens its work, expands its scholarship, makes its outreach more research-informed and mission-aligned, and brings more faculty energy to the Institute and Rice University more widely.
