Talking about religion in non-confessional universities

You can watch now the conversation with Professor Donn Tilson about the place of religion in non-confessional universities, a very interesting dialogue on freedom of speech, indigenous spirituality, religious study, and diversity.


Donn J. Tilson, an associate professor emeritus at the School of Communication, University of Miami, has published and lectured extensively on public relations and religion, including as a Fulbright Scholar (University of Ottawa) in interfaith dialogue. His book, The Promotion of
Devotion: Saints, Celebrities and Shrines, is a pioneering work in the field and currently in revision as a second edition (Cognella, 2022). He continues to explore the confluence of public relations, social responsibility, and faith in ancient civilizations, indigenous peoples, and other present-day societies. Consulting editor for a special issue (December, 2021) of the Journal of Public Relations Research, Faith, Spirituality, and Public Relations, he recently shared research on the effects of COVID-19 on the worship of native American communities in Alaska at an international conference of the World Council of Churches and the World Association for Christian Communication.
