Deadline: 15 November 2017
The British Council USA is currently accepting proposals for transatlantic academic coalitions to support the new phase of Bridging Voices.
The project will continue these transatlantic conversations and add new, exciting components to the program; including a formal Bridging Voices network and closed online platform, multiple digital and one face-to-face transatlantic academic and policy workshops, media and public outreach activity and the publication of two external reports.
The Bridging Voices project seeks dynamic academic partnerships between US and UK universities to conduct research on the theme of “religion in the public sphere” and organize policy workshops exploring their new research with academics, policymakers, practitioners, young leaders and religious leaders in the field. This research and these policy conversations will culminate in the release of policy recommendations, which will inform governments around the world on how religious issues affect day-to-day life.
