Sacred Writes

Sacred Writes: Public Scholarship on Race, Justice, and Religion provides support, resources, and networks for scholars of religion committed to translating the significance of their research to a broader audience. In our first four years, from 2018 to 2022, we created and hosted public scholarship trainings for religion scholars, and funded partnerships between scholars and media outlets. Going forward in our new iteration from 2022-2024, we will convene meetings to discuss the risks, rewards, and responsibilities of public scholarship; build our network of public scholarship trainers, expand our training curriculum to focus on groups marginalized within and beyond the academy; and offer additional sections of our signature online training program.
