The Institute for Religion, Politics and Culture is dedicated to the objective study of religion’s influence on American and world history, as well as its contemporary role and continuing relevance in cultural and political life.
Funded by private individuals and foundations, the Institute has established a number of already-successful initiatives, including:
- Oxford Research Seminar
- Jerusalem Experience: Hebrew University in Jerusalem
- Additional International Partnerships: Paris, Rome, Prague
- Distinguished Lectures and Symposia
- Peer-reviewed Book Series
- Cincinnatus Leadership Scholars Program
- Junior Associates Program
“In this world of increasing polarization, our mission is to study in an objective manner the various ways religion and political culture intersect and inform each other, in terms of American and world history, contemporary American politics, and internationally.”
