The CRCC Interdisciplinary Research Group is led by a small committee of scholars from diverse disciplines who work to advance the investigation of religions and religion-related topics by USC faculty and graduate students. With funding support from the Dean of the Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Science, the group oversees the CRCC annual seminar, annual Working Groups, and an annual lecture. IRG also organizes scholarly conferences and public events related to religions. In addition, each autumn IRG offers research grants to USC faculty and advanced doctoral students.
