SIMRAN JEET SINGH is one of the country’s leading voices at the intersection of religious pluralism, social justice, and popular media. He is a national bestselling author of books for adults and children from Penguin Random House, host of Wisdom & Practice co-produced by PRX and the Aspen Institute, a columnist for RNS, and a contributor for TIME. 

Simran is a professor of religion and history at Union Theological Seminary, with graduate degrees from Harvard and Columbia. He is no stranger to the camera, appearing on The Daily Show, NBC, ABC, CNN, PBS, and Democracy Now, and he has been a keynote speaker at various venues, including SXSW, Aspen Ideas Festival, The White House, and Stanford University. 

Charming and even-tempered, Simran exudes peace in the face of conflict, a moral champion of inclusivity at a time of division and national strife. Through dynamic interviews with community leaders, historians, and activists, Simran immerses himself in the lived experiences of practitioners and navigates how the spectrum of religious community life has played a role in the growth of our nation.
