Our Mission

The GARNET (Global Affairs and Religion Network) aims to create a sustained conversation across the fields of religion and global affairs. The network brings together faculty from the George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs and Religion Department (CCAS) each month to discuss on a topic that weaves together aspects of both fields.

The GARNET is also supported by the George Washington University Seminar series that promotes discussion across disciplinary boundaries.
