ACLS Names First Grantees in New Program Connecting Scholars of Religion and Journalists


The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is pleased to announce the inaugural cohort of grantees for the Luce/ACLS Program in Religion, Journalism & International Affairs (RJIA). This program is made possible by the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation.

RJIA grants provide support to universities with strengths in the study of religion, journalism, and media to pursue programming that connects scholarship on religion to journalism training and practice. The awards of up to $60,000 fund a variety of projects, including new interdisciplinary curricular ventures, public programming, and research working groups. Grantee universities also may serve as host sites for research fellows supported by the RJIA program during the 2017-18 academic year.
