HAPPY TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO US!
|
|
|
The Religion and Public Life Program (RPLP) is celebrating ten years as a program at Rice University. That's ten years of using research on religion to build common ground for the common good.
Since our founding, we've published dozens of articles in academic journals, secured millions in grant funding, and reached thousands of people through our in-person programming. But our greatest accomplishment is the more than 100 students, scholars, and leaders we have trained and worked with. Here are some of their stories...

|
In honor of our 10th year, and so that we may celebrate with as many of you as are able, we are opening up our Religious and Civic Leader Gatherings and our weekly Fellows Meetings to everyone this spring. We hope you will consider attending to honor our anniversary and to learn about relevant research on religion in the public sphere. See below for some of our upcoming spring programming. All events will be held online.
If you would like to attend one of the Religious and Civic Leader Gatherings listed below, please contact RPLP Program Manager Hayley Hemstreet at hjh2@rice.edu for more information. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!
