We are an interdisciplinary network of educators, students, and scholars who examine issues involving religion and education in the United States, Canada, and around the globe. The REC strives to bridge gaps between academic fields and educational arenas to promote research and initiatives on religious literacy education, relationships between religion and public schools, and other topics at the intersections of religion and schooling.
We meet regularly via video conference during the academic year. These sessions provide space for members to present on works in progress, seek feedback on projects, and share findings and experiences with initiatives related to religion and education.

Chapter proposals are invited for an edited volume Religious Literacy in the Public Sphere. This book project will explore:

why religious literacy matters in today’s social and political landscapes;
how to endorse the development of religious literacy in the public sphere.
Join us for an incredible program of discovery. Whether you are coming for professional, personal or educational reasons, what you learn will stay with you, influencing your connections with others and your understanding of the world around you.
