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 28-29. This virtual space features the research of REWA students from their capstone seminar (GOVT 313) on diverse topics including the role of religion in Biden’s environmental policymaking, just war theory and targeted killings, Vatican-Taiwan relations, and more. We invite Georgetown and the wider Berkley Center community to participate by commenting on student projects below. See here for in-person presentations.
