The Fletcher Initiative on Religion, Law, and Diplomacy is a multi-faceted initiative involving faculty and students at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
______________________________________________________________________
The Initiative combines curricular offerings and an invited lecture series featuring scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who are engaged at the intersection of religion and international relations. It aims to:
- Provide a framework for interdisciplinary study and practice of international affairs through the lens of religious literacy;
- Create spaces to challenge assumptions and enhance understanding about the role of religion in the varied discourses at the Fletcher School;
- Develop these competencies through an annual Fall conference and annual speaker series.
