(From http://www.pluralism.org/resources/calendar/summer_internships.php). The Pluralism Project at Harvard University seeks interns for the summer of 2006. Interns will be involved in a wide variety of projects including research, site visits, outreach, website and database maintenance, and administrative tasks. We are looking for committed candidates with strong academic records and excellent research and writing skills. Some background in Religious Studies and interest in the diversity of world religions in America is required.
