Today on the pod we are joined by Elaine Howard Ecklund. Dr. Ecklund is a professor of sociology at Rice University where she founded the Religion and Public Life Foundation. She spends much of her time researching the relationship of science and faith as they relate to social groups, and this is also the focus of her new book which we will discuss throughout the episode.
We talk about the importance of both racial and religious representation in the scientific fields, we explore the reasons undergirding the animosity that can exist between the science and faith communities, and Elaine shares her ideas about shared values as a possible way to work past and through those tensions.
