During each semester, PPE Society fellows participate in a guided reading and discussion group, meeting approximately every other week while classes are in session. Readings are selected with the aim of deepening the group's appreciation and understanding of theories and research relevant to that semester's guest presentations via Odyssey lectures, the PPE seminar series, Agora Lecture and or Janus Forum events. PPE fellows provide guidance and feedback on past and future events and also have unique opportunities to meet and interact with visiting scholars hosted by the PPE Center.

The PPE Society provides a competitive fellowship opportunity for student applicants. Similar to other programs on campus, fellows receive a $250 research stipend per semester while they remain active members in the PPE Society. Student fellows must fulfill all formal requirements in order to receive funds at the end of each semester.

Dead Poets Society is a place where reading becomes a source of personal fulfilment and exploration. Centered around understanding human experiences of suffering and mortality, our community gathers every week to read short passages in a group setting. Then, we contemplate and reflect in open minded and honest ways, developing a humane curiosity about the limits of human experience. We are open to students of all backgrounds, beliefs, and levels of experience with such exploration.

The Brown Meditation Community (BMC) is a student-run group that fosters well-being and community through different contemplative practices. The BMC is committed to maintaining a maximally inclusive and accessible environment that prioritizes compassion, self-care, and self-inquiry. People of all backgrounds and experience levels are welcome at any event. The BMC is non-denominational and is informed by a multitude of meditative practices from a variety of religious traditions. To credit and respect these traditions, the BMC strives to speak about, rather than for, these traditions. Navigating contemplative practice in the BMC is complex and imperfect; we always welcome dialogue about the intent, methods, and impacts of appropriating meditative practices from their indigenous contexts. The BMC hopes to share meditation and engage in contemplative experience with attention to context as much as content.

Do you get nervous talking about religion? Feel frustrated with religious intolerance, but don’t know much about religious traditions outside of your own experience (or lack thereof)? Looking to learn more about religious traditions, but not sure where to begin?

Here's where the Brown Religious Literacy Project comes in! We are a non-credit course (without homework!) that meets weekly during the Spring Semester to engage with scholars and practitioners from the Providence community to explore five major religious traditions.

Discussion often centers on philosophical foundations, values and identity formation, and internal diversity in these traditions. Our hope is to clarify common misconceptions, affirm the importance of religious literacy at Brown and in the world, and illuminate the ways in which religion is embedded in our society. Moreover, we strive to be a welcoming space for healthy interfaith dialogue, community-building, and understanding of diverse beliefs, practices, and identities.

Student led and run. Sponsored by the Office of the Chaplains and Religious Life.

For more than 50 years, the Thursday Night Interfaith Supper program (TNS) has been one of the key interfaith initiatives of the Office of the Chaplains and Religious Life—TNS has been a place for delicious food, inspiring speakers, respectful community, and invigorating conversation on matters of interfaith dialogue and spirituality. Open to students of all programs, those who attend represent the full breadth of the Brown community as well as a wide range of religious, faith, spiritual, and ethical perspectives.

Gathering on the Third Thursday Night of each month, the evening comprises dinner and conversation with invited speakers who discuss how the life of the spirit guides their professional and personal lives.

Suppers begin at 5:30 pm and end by 7:00 pm. If you have dietary restrictions, please be sure to use the monthly sign-up form in advance of the dinner.

Sign-up for our e-list to receive monthly reminders & more information about TNS.
