The Center for Religion and Media at NYU has received a two-year grant from the Henry Luce Foundation for an initiative on Digital Religion: Knowledge, Politics and Practice. The project will study how religion intertwines with the update of digital/social media in recent unprecedented social and political transformations–in particular but not exclusively in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central and Southeast Asia–along with the implications of these developments for international relations. The grant was recommended and approved under the Foundation’s Henry R. Luce initiative on Religion and International Affairs for September 2011–August 2013.
This conference brought together contemporary documentary filmmakers from Indonesia and India with legal scholars, anthropologists, NGO workers and others working on issues of human rights and representation. By examining the relationship between human rights activism and documentary filmmaking, the three-day conference stimulated dialogue and knowledge across many relevant communities.
A series of documentary films exploring religion, spirituality and ethics, a project jointly sponsored with Auburn Media, a division of The Center for Multifaith Education at Auburn Theological Seminary, Macky Alston, Director.
