Indiana University Bloomington

The Center for the Study of Religion & American Culture was established in 1989 to explore the connections between religion and other aspects of American culture. We are a research and public teaching institute that supports the ongoing scholarly discussion of the nature and dynamics of religion in America. As a signature center of the School of Liberal Arts at Indiana University Indianapolis, the Center pursues its aim as part of the mission of humane learning. It seeks to elevate among students, faculty, and the larger American public our understanding of the influence of religion in the lives of people and society.
