Ruth Marshall awarded grant from Social Science Research Council in New York

June 27, 2012

We are delighted to announce that Professor Ruth Marshall has been awarded a Social Science Research Council Grant for her project “Moving Heaven and Earth: Prayer as Political Praxis in Global Pentecostalism” !




Description of the program:

Religion has been increasingly acknowledged in recent years as an important aspect of national and international politics, a pervasive and contentious cultural force, and a subject of significant public concern. Through a range of projects, the Council’s Program on Religion and the Public Sphere seeks to foster engagement and cooperation among social scientists and others working on religion, secularism, and related topics, to support new and innovative scholarship in this critical area of study, and to elevate the quality of both academic and public discussion.
