The University of Chicago Martin Marty Center

Research

The Marty Center sponsors a variety of research projects and conferences both independently and in concert with other institutions. Projects range from lecture series or conferences a few days in length to major interdisciplinary endeavors running for several years. Through these sorts of activities, the Center provides a place for Divinity School faculty to pursue collaborative research involving colleagues from many other universities and countries. Since graduate students are often active participants, these projects also provide one of the many ways in which the Center promotes the development of scholars from the role of student to that of contributing peer and professional academic. Both the University of Chicago community and the more general public have benefited from numerous public lectures and conferences, as well as the publications that have resulted from them. Above are listed the projects currently underway at the Marty Center, with links to their websites.
