Response: Bodies and Churches and Political Tools

The Religion, Ethics, and World Affairs (REWA) program offers a minor for Georgetown Main Campus undergraduate students administered through the Berkley Center. The REWA minor gives students an opportunity to explore the role of faith and values across topic areas including international relations, comparative politics, and history and cultures. In our interreligious and intercultural world, developing a nuanced understanding of these topics is of critical importance and value in the academy and across professions.
Our Spring Symposium runs April 19 to 23, 2021. This virtual poster session features the research of senior REWA students from their capstone seminar (GOVT 313) on diverse topics including the Catholic Church and the Rwandan genocide, Persian Jews in Iran, faith-based organizations working with Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and more. We invite Georgetown and the wider Berkley Center community to participate by commenting on student posters and attending two virtual student presentations on April 23 (please RSVP to receive the Zoom link).
