Working Groups
RPGP organizes small working groups as part of an ongoing effort to support and encourage interdiscplinary scholarship at the intersection of religion and politics. Graduate students and faculty from UC Berkeley and the Graduate Theological Union come together several times a semester to discuss their ongoing research on diverse topics including political Islam, Christian evangelicalism and religious violence.
For more information, please contact the group's coordinator.
