Lab director joins intl’ project on spirituality and health

Lab founder and director Wendy Cadge, Barbara Mandel Professor of the Humanistic Social Sciences and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Brandeis University, has joined the Scientific Advisory Council of the project Spirituality and Health in the United Nations.

The project, based in the Theological Faculty at the University of Zurich, investigates how and why the various organisations and programmes of the United Nations cooperate with religious actors across the globe. The project represents the first comprehensive study on the role of UN-Organisations and their religious partners in the field of global health.

Dean Cadge will advise the project in its study of cooperation between secular international organizations and faith-based organizations active in global health. For more information, visit the project here.
