Grant title: New Religiosity and the Digital Study of Eudaimonia

Co-PIs: Stephen Christopher and Suzanne Newcombe

We are currently recruiting 200 scholars of new religions to complete a large poll called the "New Religiosity Poll" (NRP). We estimate it will take about 14 hours to complete. You do not answer all the questions; when you click "no" for an answer, it closes down a lot of secondary questions. Each entry will have a DOI and be published open access on the Database of Religious History (DRH), hosted at The University of British Columbia in Canada. As an honorarium, we pay 300 CAD per completed entry.

A key aspect to his project is to get multiple entries from the same group from different regions or time frames. If your expertise ends at a certain date, that's okay as you can write an entry that explicitly ends at that time. We want entries on groups that are limited in time frame and geographical regions.

Also, we also want entries from scholars, "inside" members and leadership, and "outside" critics or former members. The poll allows for answers to be reflective of "orthodoxy", "member experience" and "external critic" or former member.

If you're interested, please get in touch and let's set up a Zoom in January.
