Zusammenfassung:In recent years universities have given increasing attention to religious pluralism on campus. There exists potential for different fields in U.S. higher education to partner toward strategic goals for religious understanding. This conceptual article finds that while key stakeholders are aware of each other’s work, it is largely uncoordinated, with each field relying on its own terminologies. The author applies a lens of transdisciplinarity to explore conceptualizations of religious literacy and interfaith work from chaplaincy, religious studies, and student affairs in U.S. higher education, arguing for the importance of partnership and agreement on a common lexicon.
