项目摘要

Public Spirit is a proposed new on-line public forum featuring research, analysis and debate on religion and public policy. Public Spirit will provide a space for academics, policymakers, politicians and practitioners from voluntary, community and faith-based organisations to engage with current research and debates on religion and public policy, in a forum that crosses political affiliations and religious traditions, supported by regular off-line events. The proposal for this online public forum emerges from the project 'Muslim Participation in Contemporary Governance' (MPCG) that is jointly funded by the AHRC and ESRC through the Religion and Society Programme. The online forum will provide a mechanism for further disseminating the project's findings to a range of policy, practitioner and civil society audiences, through a series of short articles on specific aspects of the research. It will connect these findings to broader contemporary debates about religion and public policy, by hosting contributions from a wide range of public actors who are actively engaged in these debates. Issues relating to religion and public policy have generated considerable interest in recent times - with both New Labour and the present Coalition government according particular significance to religion and faith groups in policies on cohesion, integration, equalities, welfare, active citizenship and security and counter-terrorism. The anticipated audiences for Public Spirit include policy-makers, practitioners, civil society organisations (e.g. think-tanks, pressure groups, community organisations and religious institutions) and academics. Guided by feedback from our consultation with 44 such actors, the forum will: provide accessible articles on the findings from the MPCG research; connect this research with views and perspectives from a range of actors; provide accessible analysis and reflections on related research; feature spotlights on evidence and analysis on local areas to inform national debates; host debates that bring together academics, policy-makers, think-tanks, pressure groups and religious institutions to engage with and inform one another. Public Spirit will be hosted by the Centre for Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol, where the project team will be based. The forum will work with an Editorial Board with a membership from the fields of academia, publishing and politics. The Editorial Board will meet to determine and commission the content for Public Spirit and discuss strategies for impact. In order to maximise the relevance and influence of Public Spirit among wider audiences, we have formed an agreement to partner with the recently formed All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Faith and Society and its Secretariat, FaithAction. This partnership will allow Public Spirit to connect with the actors and audiences engaged with the APPG and FaithAction, whilst providing an additional forum for debate and considered reflection on the issues raised in the work of the APPG. There is at present no blog or forum that focuses on religion and public policy in the UK (at national and local levels), featuring academic research that is presented accessibly and which is engaged with policy, practitioner and civil society discussants and contributors. Public Spirit will provide a unique forum for Knowledge Exchange. Using digital media, it will make the findings of the MPCG project easily accessible to individuals and groups outside of academia who cannot normally easily access conventional scholarly sources. It will significantly increase user engagement with the MPCG project, as well as other related research, and enable Knowledge Exchange among a diverse range of actors concerned with issues relating to religion and public policy.

公共精神是一个拟议的新的在线公共论坛，以研究、分析和辩论宗教和公共政策为特色。公共精神将为来自志愿、社区和以信仰为基础的组织的学者、政策制定者、政治家和实践者提供一个空间，在一个由定期离线活动支持的跨政治派别和宗教传统的论坛上，参与当前关于宗教和公共政策的研究和辩论。这个在线公共论坛的提议来自“穆斯林参与当代治理”(MPCG)项目，该项目由AHRC和ESRC通过宗教和社会方案共同资助。在线论坛将提供一种机制，通过一系列关于研究具体方面的短文，进一步向一系列政策、从业人员和民间社会受众传播该项目的调查结果。它将把这些发现与当代关于宗教和公共政策的更广泛的辩论联系起来，主持积极参与这些辩论的各种公共行为者的贡献。最近，与宗教和公共政策有关的问题引起了相当大的兴趣--新工党和现任联合政府都特别重视宗教和信仰团体在关于凝聚力、融合、平等、福利、积极公民身份和安全以及反恐的政策中的重要性。公共精神的预期受众包括政策制定者、从业者、民间社会组织(例如智囊团、压力团体、社区组织和宗教机构)和学者。论坛将以我们与44个这样的行为者磋商后得到的反馈为指导，提供关于MPCG研究结果的易读文章；将这项研究与各种行为者的观点和观点联系起来；提供可访问的分析和对相关研究的思考；重点关注证据和对当地地区的分析，以便为国家辩论提供信息；主办辩论，将学者、政策制定者、智囊团、压力团体和宗教机构聚集在一起，相互接触并相互交流。公共精神将由布里斯托尔大学种族和公民中心主办，项目小组将设在该中心。论坛将与一个编辑委员会合作，成员来自学术界、出版界和政界。编辑委员会将开会确定和委托《公共精神》的内容，并讨论产生影响的战略。为了最大限度地扩大公共精神在更广泛受众中的相关性和影响力，我们达成了一项协议，与最近成立的信仰与社会问题跨党派议会小组(APPG)及其秘书处Faithaction合作。这一伙伴关系将使公共精神与参与APPG和Faithaction的演员和观众联系起来，同时为APPG工作中提出的问题提供一个额外的辩论和深思熟虑的论坛。目前，在英国(在国家和地方层面)还没有以宗教和公共政策为重点的博客或论坛，其特色是学术研究以可访问的方式呈现，并与政策、实践者和民间社会的讨论者和撰稿人接触。公共精神将为知识交流提供一个独特的论坛。通过使用数字媒体，它将使学术界以外的个人和团体很容易获得MPCG项目的成果，而这些个人和团体通常不容易获得传统的学术来源。它将大大增加用户对MPCG项目以及其他相关研究的参与，并使与宗教和公共政策相关问题有关的各种行为者之间能够进行知识交流。
