TRiP is inspired by the public university classroom, where scholars and students of religion regularly participate in the vital civic experiment of thinking, learning, and teaching religion as an open question rather than a conclusive set of facts, in ways that are enhanced rather than impeded by our public and religious diversity.
Since its beginning in Spring 2019, TRiP projects have included partnerships between graduate students and faculty to reflect on themes ranging from “Practice” to “Difficulty,” and cross-cultural and interdisciplinary investigations of topics such as “Scripture” and “THiNGS.”
A select archive of past TRiP projects can be found here. Please also explore the essays and teaching modules in Engaging Religion.
Details of TRiP’s 2024-2025 project—The TRiP Grad Lab—are here.
