Interfaith Cooperation on Campus: Teaching Interfaith Literacy
Patel, Eboo; Meyer, Cassie
Journal of College and Character, v12 n4 Dec 2011
When public discourse around religious diversity is so fraught, how might faculty teach about religion in a way that encourages civic engagement and participation in a diverse society in college students? The authors suggest a way forward, what they call "interfaith literacy," and explore how it might play out in the college classroom.
