Dr. Jayme Yeo, assistant professor of English, participated in the 2014 National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute, Problems in the Study of Religion, hosted by the University of Virginia in Charlottesville from July 7-25. Designed to “introduce scholars . . . to the enormously productive re-thinking of the idea of ‘religion’ that has happened in recent years,” the institute hosted three visiting scholars and featured daily discussions on research and pedagogy. While there, Yeo presented in a round-table discussion on insider/outsider perspectives in the study of religion.
