Georgetown University: Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs: Faculty Research

-- Seminars. The Center sponsored two seminars, on Religion and Development, and on Culture, Religion, and Globalization, during the 2006/07 academic year. During 2007-08, the Berkley Center convened the program Religion Across the Curriculum, with faculty seminars on Religion and Culture and Religion and Conflict, designed to explore teaching approaches about religion across the disciplines.

-- Symposia. During the spring 2007 semester the Center organized two symposia, one on Evangelicals and Foreign Policy on March 28,  the other on Religion, Migration, and Foreign Policy. Both are Center collaborations with the SFS/Luce Program on Religion and International Affairs.

-- Publications. Democracy and the New Religious Pluralism (ed. Thomas Banchoff) was published in May 2007 by Oxford University Press. Based on an April 2005 conference, it includes chapters by John Esposito, Martha Nussbaum, Jose Casanova, Peter Berger, Robert Wuthnow and Stanley Hauerwas.

-- Pedagogy Research. The Berkley Center has begun a four-year longitudinal study to deepen our knowledge about connections between undergraduate learning and interreligious understanding—knowledge that will help faculty and administrators design curricula and structure student life more effectively.
