The Newberry Library requests funding for a Bridging Cultures at Community Colleges project entitled “Out of Many: Religious Pluralism in America.” The project’s objective is to provide community college faculty with the necessary knowledge and skills to improve instruction on American religious pluralism, thus contributing to the goals of the NEH’s “Bridging Cultures” initiative. Under this program, Newberry staff in the Dr. William M. Scholl Center for American History and Culture will convene multi-day summer seminars in 2012 and 2013 that will bring together twenty community college faculty to explore American religious pluralism through discussions with scholars in the field, public programs, and collaborative research focused on curriculum development. |
