British Council USA has published a new publication showcasing the work of its partners under the second iteration of its Bridging Voices program. The program aims to open up the conversation around religion and international affairs by encouraging connection and collaboration between policymakers and academics from both sides of the Atlantic.

This e-book presents detailed descriptions of each of three supported projects including their respective convenings, research activities, topics examined, and publications produced.

  • The University of Exeter and Fordham University
    Contemporary Eastern Orthodox Identity and the Challenges of Pluralism and Sexual Diversity in a Secular Age
  • King’s College London and George Mason University
    The Muslim Atlantic: Exploring Transnational Connections between American and British Muslims
  • Yale University and University College London
    Religion and Social Justice for Refugees: Supporting Local Faith-Based Responses to Displacement

This e-book celebrates the work of our partners and highlights the impact of the Bridging Voices programme in the field of religion and international affairs. The Bridging Voices program has successfully opened up the conversation around religion and international affairs, built lasting transatlantic connections and shaped the trajectory of the field.

In addition to highlighting the work of our university partners, we have included reflections written by stakeholders in the US, UK and Europe, who have been involved in the Bridging Voices program through both the first and second iteration.

The second iteration of Bridging Voices was generously supported by Friends of the British Council and the Henry Luce Foundation.
