CSRC University Seminar in Religion and Culture
The CSRC's University Seminar is an academic forum that examines substantial issues at the intersection of religion and culture. The Seminar routinely features the work of CSRC Faculty Fellows and CSRC Faculty Research Projects, as well as the work of the Center's Graduate and Summer Fellows. Invited scholars or practitioners are featured on an occasional basis. The Seminar is held three times each semester and is open to all members of the Vanderbilt University community. The CSRC University Seminar in Religion and Culture is generously supported by a gift from Professor Emeritus Burt Bogitsh and his family given in honor of Mafoi Carlisle Bogitsh.
