CTCR is an initiative to build stronger connections between the wealth of academic professionals and students of religion in Central Texas.
Three main things about us:
• Schools and institutions work together (usually two or more at a time) to co-host lectures and events that are of interest to the participating institutions and the wider public.
• CTCR is interested in a wide range of topics in the fields of religion and religious studies. Because the study of religion contains a strong interdisciplinary element, our interests are broadly conceived to include related fields such as: science and religion, anthropology, history, sociology, literature, economics, philosophy, politics, etc.
• Institutions, students and faculty participate as little or as much as they would like
