Statement of Purpose: The Unitarian Universalist Studies Network (UUSN), formed in 2021, continues and expands the work of its predecessor organizations, the Unitarian Universalist History and Heritage Society and a network of scholars in a variety of disciplines known as Collegium. UUSN defines itself as “a mutually supportive collective of academic and independent scholars, lay leaders, religious professionals, and students who aim to cultivate deeper engagement with Unitarian Universalist historical, theological, and ethical knowledge and practices as well as their intersections and interplay.” Through online resources, publications, and in-person gatherings, the Network engages both members and a broader public in the study of Unitarian Universalism, its predecessors, its related organizations and its social engagement and impact. No credential, title, or educational background is required in order to take part. All are invited to join our endeavors.
