Interfaith America is a national nonprofit organization based in Chicago. They believe that religious diversity is a foundational American strength and are committed to building a nation that achieves that promise for the common good. The fellow will help support a national initiative that brings together scholars, public intellectuals, and civic leaders to examine pluralism’s philosophical, historical, and practical dimensions. The project includes a series of both small and public gatherings, a curated editorial process leading toward an edited compilation, and contributions to public-facing discourse on pluralism.

Eric Gu is a PhD student in Anthropology at the University of California, Irvine. Interested in the intersection of media, religion, and political anthropology, his current research is on the politics of social media influencers between the US and East Asia.
