Exploring Connections Between Religious and Civic Engagement

Our Partnership

As a visiting fellow at Notre Dame University, Elizabeth Sperber worked to explore how religious beliefs influence political and civic engagement. We believe the research and ingenuity achieved through collaborations with partners like Notre Dame is needed to work toward equity and justice.
