As our country’s democratic institutions are being undermined, PRRI is proud to announce our support of a dynamic cohort of Senior Democracy Fellows — scholars and knowledge producers working at the intersection of religion, culture, and politics.
PRRI Senior Democracy Fellows are leading experts who are addressing the threat of white Christian nationalism and offering an alternative cultural and religious vision that supports a multiracial, multifaith, pluralistic democracy.
Meet the Senior Democracy Fellows:
- Kelly Brown Douglas, Canon Theologian, The Washington National Cathedral
- Robert P. Jones, President and Founder, PRRI
- Kristin Du Mez, Professor of History and Gender Studies, Calvin University
- Obery M. Hendricks Jr., Visiting Scholar, Columbia University

- Katherine Stewart, Author and Journalist
- Jemar Tisby, PhD, Founder & Principal, Tisby Media
- Andrew Whitehead, Professor of Sociology, Indiana University Indianapolis
