The third annual washington darbar conference: religious freedom in a changing world [aiss requests support from the national endowment for the humanities for the third annual washington darbar conference, titled religious freedom in a changing world, scheduled to take place on september 29, 2026, at georgetown university in washington, D.C. The project is designed as a public humanities program that will bring historical inquiry, comparative religion, philosophy, ethics, jurisprudence, and cultural memory into a public conversation on one of the defining questions of american and global civic life. NEH support is central to the intellectual purpose and public reach of this project. The conference is not presented as a general policy event or as an institutional gathering seeking routine event support. IT is framed as a humanities intervention: a public forum in which scholars and broader audiences can examine how traditions of belief, conscience, dissent, toleration, conversion, secularism, and religious authority have been shaped across time.]
