THE BERKLEY CENTER FOR RELIGION, PEACE, AND WORLD AFFAIRS Address Phone 202.687.5119 Fax Web Georgetown University, Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, Intercultural Center 667, 37th and O Street, NW Washington, DC 20057 http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/ E-Mail berkleycenter@georgetown.edu Category Research & Knowledge MISSION STATEMENT The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs explores the intersection of religion with contemporary global challenges: relations among states and societies; democracy and human rights; global development; and cultural globalization. Two foundational premises guide the Center's work: that scholarship on religion and its role in world affairs can help to address these challenges effectively; and that the open engagement of religious traditions with one another and with the wider society can promote peace. Founding year March 2006. BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES � International Relations: Center programs will explore religion's double-edged quality as both a driver of terrorism and civil conflict, and a source of reconciliation and peacebuiliding. The Center is a partner in the implementation of a two-year grant from the Henry Luce Foundation to the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. The Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Relations, inaugurated in fall 2006, supports a range of teaching, research, and outreach activities on two themes: "Religious Sources of Foreign Policy" and "Religion and Development." (Conference on the New Religious Pluralism in World Politics in March 2006.) � Democracy & Human Rights: Center programs explore the interaction of religion with democracy and human rights at the level of both theory and practice. E.g. The Center is sponsoring a major conference on Religion and the Global Politics of Human Rights on March 16, 2007. � Global Development: For all its importance, the religious factor in global development is poorly understood. Center programs will examine better how religious and secular ideas, interests, and organizations intersect around challenges of global development -- in order to advance scholarship and promote better policy. As part of the new, two-year Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Affairs the Center is developing a "Religion and Development Database" that will track the engagement of religious communities worldwide around questions of education, healthcare, and poverty relief. � Culture & Identity: The Berkley Center sponsors careful interdisciplinary work that brings together the social sciences and the humanities and explores the historical narratives and theological constructs that shape religion, culture, and identity in today's world.

REMARKS Thomas Banchoff: Director, banchoff@georgetown.edu Melody Fox Ahmed: Program Coordinator. Katherine Marshall: joined the Center as a Senior Fellow and Visiting Professor in September 2006. She will be teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses. The Center was created very recently in March 2006 through a grant by William R. Berkley. Its website is very well organized and worth exploring.
