ABOUT THE PLATFORM
Building the Where's Religion platform with cutting-edge technology and innovative design
"Advancing the study of lived religion through rigorous scholarly methods that account for embodied experiences, improvised practices, material cultures, and shared spaces."
Our Platform
Where's Religion? is an open-source application developed by humanities faculty and IT professionals at Saint Louis University that supports in-person research, remote data entry, media sharing, and mapping. The app is designed to facilitate a more robust public understanding of religion through rigorous scholarly methods.
Our Approach
Through a research methodology that moves beyond analysis of sacred texts, creeds, and official teachings, Where's Religion? provides a platform to diversify the data we study and to advance the study of religion we all encounter in everyday life.
