About the Lab
Professor Sungcheong Lee's research lab focuses on the evolving relationship between religion, politics, and civil society, particularly in the context of global interfaith dialogue. The lab explores how religious engagement fosters new forms of moral and political consciousness beyond traditional power dynamics, contributing to the reimagining of civil religion in pluralistic societies.

The lab emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, integrating religious studies, political theory, and sociology to understand contemporary civic identities.
