The Religion and the Human Lecture Series, co-sponsored by the CRH and the IU Department of Religious Studies, brings outstanding established and emerging scholars, journalists, creative writers, and other practitioners to Bloomington to deliver a lecture on the topic of their choice and to interact with graduate students and members of the public during their visit. Our roster of speakers reflects the breadth of the Center’s mission to locate questions of what it means to be human as a core aspect of the study of religion and its public understanding.
