Scholars Meetings

Building a Community of Scholars

The Boniuk Institute's Religion and Public Life Center hosts a weekly seminar for its team of scholars, including undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, as well as interested members of the Rice University and academic community. Fellows present their ow work on religion or workshop in-progress articles or book manuscripts, receiving feedback and input from peers and others more advanced in their careers.

Other meetings include invited scholars who present on recently published work on religion as it intersects with public life or professional development training.

The weekly Scholars Meetings build a cross-disciplinary community of scholars and create informal links between senior and junior scholars, contributing to their academic and professional development.
