Mosque Mapping Survey
REFNo: SS385ES

Religious institutions play an important role in the daily lives of Ugandans, as in other African countries. Yet, we understand little about the influence of religious institutions on social and political outcomes. This project focuses on the sway of Muslim religious institutions in shaping the opinions and behaviors of congregants. Specifically, we will study how mosques communicate with congregants, what types of messages they deliver, and how messages shape the attitudes and behaviors of congregants.

The research objectives of this project are to:
• Examine variation in sermons, including topics, religious citations, and tone.
• Assess how mosque and imam characteristics influence the nature of sermons.
• Explore how sermons shape congregant religious, social, and political attitudes and behaviors.
