The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) has announced the 2020 Luce/ACLS Fellows in Religion, Journalism & International Affairs. The seven fellows, whose supported research projects explore the role of religion in a range of international contexts, will partner with journalists to share their findings and expertise with public audiences.
The Luce/ACLS Program also awarded grants to two universities for collaborative projects that unite scholarship on religion with journalism. Arizona State University’s Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict, with its partners, will “combine research on apocalyptic thinking with training in the literature and journalism of social change so that narratives on climate change may be more effective with religious communities most resistant to environmental activism.” A project at the Religion, Race & Democracy Lab at the University of Virginia will “explore how religion intersects with and helps construct racial identity in democracies around the world.”
