Each month during the academic year, the Lumen Center hosts lunches with Madison-based scholars who explore innovative research at the intersection of academic disciplines and the life of the church. Whether the work is grounded in theology, the humanities, the social sciences, or the natural sciences—and whether it focuses on U.S. religion, the history of Christian thought, or other topics—we aim to learn from these ongoing projects and to encourage scholars in their research. Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to stay informed about upcoming dates and topics for our Research Lunches. No preparation is necessary, and a light lunch is provided.
