My friends over at Georgetown University’s Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs have put together a sweet project called Bridging Babel: New Social Media and Interreligious and Intercultural Understanding.
I got hooked up with the project at the Interfaith Youth Core‘s conference last October. I was presenting a workshop on social web tools and the interfaith movement. I met Melody Fox Ahmed, Director of Programs and Operations at the Berkley Center, and we’ve kept up correspondence since then. The report is really cool, quite in-depth, and very useful for looking at the ways in which dialogue and action will happen online.
It’s also totally dope because they quoted me a few times in the report. :) Here’s a video with the undergraduate researchers talking about the highlights. I recommend checking out Bridging Babel – it’s worth the read.
*** This post is part of the “Blog Every Day Challenge“, which I have undertaken in homage to John Haydon, a captain of social media and inbound marketing for non-profits. A few months back he did the same thing. Granted, all of his posts imparted some kind of value to his readers (and he has many). I’m blogging about the same old stuff. Don’t call it “general interest”, because I think that it goes without saying that humans should generally be interested in what I’m doing. :) ***
