Today, we explore a subject that has been under-examined at Heterodox Academy: Religious viewpoint diversity. The piece, Religion: A Viewpoint Diversity Blind Spot?, was written by Dr. Seth Kaplan. He teaches at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University.

Today’s episode is part of a new effort this summer to explore the nuances of religious viewpoint diversity within higher education. On July 26th, we’re going to be hosting a live event on the tensions between religious faith and truth-seeking in both secular and religious colleges and universities. Learn more.
