https://www.globaleast.org/ In 2020, we expanded our focus to religion in the Global East.

The Center on Religion and the Global East (CRGE) at Purdue University is dedicated to advancing the social scientific study of religion in East Asian societies, East Asian diasporas, and religions originated in East Asia that are spread around the world. The Center on Religion and Chinese Society (CRCS) was started in 2008 to advance scholarship and dialogue on Chinese religions. CRGE strives to

deepen scholarly understanding of religions through research projects and scholarly exchanges, and to building bridges among scholars in the West and East and between scholars and the public through media, symposia, lectures, and publications.

"Yang Fenggeng (楊鳳崗), a sociologist who studies Christianity and religion in China, has a model of how religions there are allowed to operate.
