Organization The Pluralism Project at Harvard University
History 1990, Dr.Diana Eck taught a Harvard course on World Religions in New England. Out of it came the book World Religions in Boston A Guide to Communities and Resources. 1991 PP was formed to do similar research across the country. December 1996 the Pluralism website was launched. 2005 four research initiatives were launched; the interfaith initiative, (looking at the growing interfaith movement), the civic Initiative, (investigating the practical challenges of religious pluralism), the Womens Initiative, (examining womens religious leadership) and the International Initiative, (expanding Pluralism research to other democracies).
