The SSRC’s Religion and the Public Sphere Program, with support from the Henry Luce Foundation, hosted a weeklong Summer Institute for Early-Career Scholars from July 26 - August 1, 2021. Sixteen early-career scholars conducting research on the ways in which religion intersects with two critical public issues--social justice movements and environmental crises--participated in this hybrid-format event, with attendees participating from Santa Fe, NM and virtually from around the world.
On 26, 28 July, and 2 August 2021, CPPF held an expert brainstorming series for the UN on the deepening crisis in Myanmar.
