The Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s Religion, Ecology, and Expressive Culture (REEC) Initiative invites proposals for the 2026-27 academic year. We seek proposals for events related to our three themes at the intersection of religion, ecology, and expressive culture (art, ritual, performance, protest, and more). We are especially excited about events that engage diverse sacred practices, rituals, and arts to address issues of pressing environmental concern. Proposals can include conferences, theater performances, art exhibitions, webinars, panel discussions, and more—see forms of engagement. Learn more about the REEC Initiative and access the application form.
