The MultiFaith Scholars of Elon University will describe their various research interests, which engage national and international intersections of religion. Scholars will also share some stories from their fieldwork and research process from the last year. As majors from a variety of departments, including religious studies, journalism, political science, international global studies, strategic communications, psychology, and anthropology, they will discuss how their specific discipline influences their purpose and voice. Interfaith conferences often focus on what an individual’s voice is, but this session focuses on the ways that different stories can be told to fulfill a specific purpose. Scholars will help participants brainstorm how they see their role and the various mediums through which they might amplify their voice to achieve their goals. This session aims to help participants move forward in ways that will be constructive both during their time in college and after.
