Religious Studies, Duke. Confucianism as World Religion (Princeton UP); Situating Spirituality (co-editor Oxford UP); Against Happiness (co-author Columbia UP)
Ordering books for my Spring 2024 Duke course “Asian Religions and Knowledge of the Other.” Can’t wait to share #seeingothers by Michele Lamont @mlamont6 with my students! It is a book with sociological rigor & offers real hope in action. #booksforourtime
I can’t wait to read this book! Have already been telling colleagues and students about it. A much-needed analysis - with solution - for our deeply divided world. Loved the Ted Talk on the same subject!
Been back for a few days and wanted to share this photo from the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (@CasinaPioIV). One of the best conferences I’ve attended. Learned so much from philosophers studying non-Western traditions, theologians, psychologists and social scientists!
OUT NOW: Delighted to unbox our new edited book on spirituality. It was a pleasure to work with @jlkucinskas and @anna__sun and our stellar roster of contributors. Brief thread 👇👇
