About Race & Faith Initiative
The Program in African and African American Studies, in collaboration with Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, Religious Studies, The Taube Center for Jewish Studies, Stanford Center for Buddhist Studies, the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies, the Black Community Service Center, and the Center for African Studies, among many others across campus, is devoting this year to exploring the intersections of race and faith. This year’s presidential campaign offers just one vivid example of how commitments to race, ethnicity, religion, faith, belief systems and spiritual practices wield powerful influence in both public and private spheres of everyday experience. This year AAAS examines the many dynamic intersections and tensions between these potent motivating forces in the US and internationally, from the 19th century to the contemporary moment.
