2016 Religious Freedom Project Fellows: Findings from the Field

December 20, 2016

In the summer of 2016, the Religious Freedom Project awarded its second annual summer dissertation fellowship to students exploring the sources, development, and consequences of religious freedom. Five fellows from diverse academic disciplines explored the relationship between religious liberty and other fundamental freedoms; its importance for democracy; and/or its role in social and economic development, international diplomacy, and countering violent religious extremism. This week, the Berkley Forum asks them to synthesize and share their most pressing findings.
