RELATED PROGRAM
Doyle Undergraduate Initiatives
Engagement with cultural and religious differences is a centerpiece of the Georgetown educational experience. The Center's undergraduate programs, part of the Doyle Engaging Difference Initiative, seek to deepen that engagement by empowering students as creators, and not just consumers of knowledge.
RELATED PROJECT
Undergraduate Fellows Seminars
The Undergraduate Fellows Program combines a four-credit seminar with a collaborative research project that addresses issues at the intersection of religion, culture, society and politics. Along with the in-depth reading, writing, and dialogue typical of an upper-level seminar, student fellows conduct original research and formulate policy recommendations culminating in a written report. As of 2009/10, the program is part of the Doyle Engaging Difference Initiative.

Bridging Babel: New Social Media and Interreligious and Intercultural Understanding
May 3, 2010
The Berkley Center's 2009-2010 Undergraduate Fellows Program provided a select group of Georgetown undergraduate students with the resources to study new social media and interreligious and intercultural understanding.
Beginning in September 2009, the Fellows defined their areas of research inquiry, elected project managers, and assigned roles and responsibilities within the team. They met bi-weekly throughout the academic year, researching and analyzing the fields of both new social media and interreligious and intercultural dialogue, in a process of lively debate and discussion around their approaches, analysis, and results. They conducted 39 in-depth interviews with scholars, religious and interfaith leaders, and technology experts to provide qualitative insights into an emerging field of research. The Fellows also conducted research and outreach through a paper survey at the 2009 World Parliament of Religions in Melbourne, Australia, and online through Facebook, Twitter (@BridgingBabel) and LinkedIn.
With direction and editorial assistance from Michael Nelson, Visiting Professor of Internet Studies in Georgetown's Communications, Culture, and Technology Program, Sara Lichterman, a Master's candidate in the Communication, Culture, and Technology Program, and Melody Fox Ahmed, Director of Programs and Operations at the Berkley Center, the Fellows developed the following report.
