The Berkeley Institute

The Berkeley Institute creates an intellectual space outside the standard university curriculum where academics and religious traditions engage one another. It convenes students and faculty through workshops, seminars, reading groups, conferences, and fellowships devoted to questions of meaning, ethics, and human flourishing across disciplines.

Alongside its core programming, the institute awards mini-grants supporting scholars whose work bridges faith and academic inquiry, and hosts the Bradley Fellows program for sustained study. Senior fellows from fields such as philosophy, literature, and theology help shape its recurring conversations and public scholarship.
