The Religion, Race & Democracy Lab at the University of Virginia is a research, teaching, and public engagement initiative to explore the complex interrelationships of religion and race with democracies both local and global. We bring researchers, students, journalists, and public leaders together to focus on the ways these complex forces are found in and shape our everyday lives. We are committed to the idea that learning more about how religion and race work with democratic societies can help us to live together in today's pluralistic and increasingly global societies.
