American Universities in an Age of Pluriform Religion

Scholars Douglas and Rhonda Jacobsen give a public lecture on "American Universities in an Age of Pluriform Religion" at the National Humanities Center. The Jacobsens are co-directors of the Religion in the Academy Project, which seeks to address the many ways that religion, spirituality, and big questions of human meaning and purpose interact with university education.
