Exploring Religion: A Reader (Oxford University Press, 2014). Amazon link. The process of creating this commissioned work was based on teaching and research in the intersection of histories and theories and practices of religion. I drew heavily on teaching experiential learning courses at the undergraduate level (with ten funded conferences by the Royal Bank of Canada Community-Based Learning Awards) and expanded the materials to include a theoretical approach to ‘reading’ the idea of religion across time and geographies. I published nine peer-reviewed articles, mostly on the theory of pedagogy, in approaching the materials.
