Research Associate
 Graham
Reside, Ph.D., is a post-doctoral research associate with the
Coalition Ministries and Congregations Study. Most recently,
Graham was a Fellow with Emory University’s Office of
University-Community Partnerships (Atlanta, GA) where he sought to
develop relationships between the University and local non-profit
and social service organizations. His primary area of interest is
in the intersections of morality, religion, and American society.
His dissertation was an ethnographic study of Renovare, a
contemporary evangelical movement in moral formation. And he has
written an article on “Prayer in America,” to be published in
Religion and American Cultures: An Encyclopedia of Traditions,
Diversity and Popular Expressions (Summer 2003). A member of the
American Academy of Religion, Graham brings to the CMACS project a
strong background in the study of religion in the American context
and an abiding interest in the role of religion in public life.
