Our Leadership


Our leadership team is dedicated to supporting students throughout their academic journey—providing mentorship, cultivating inclusive spaces for dialogue, and encouraging innovative research that bridges the academy and the wider world. Whether exploring ancient texts, contemporary religious movements, or the intersections of religion with race, gender, politics, and culture, our students and faculty are united by a shared passion for understanding and transforming the world through the study of religion.
