Does religion (especially evangelicalism and Catholicism) keep minorities out of science? Do different racial minority groups within Christian traditions differ in their support for science? This research explores these and other related questions through a series of focus groups, participant observations, and in-depth interviews at three congregations in Houston. Religion, Inequality, and Science Education (RISE) received funding from Rice University, Elaine Howard Ecklund PI.
