Book Talk with SAR’s 2024 J.I. Staley Prize Recipient Tanya Luhrmann

The School for Advanced Research invites you to join us for this free online event hosted on Zoom.

A conversation with the winner of the top book prize in anthropology: How God Becomes Real…Kindling the Presence of Invisible Others

Announcing the 2024 recipient of the J. I. Staley Prize: Tanya Marie Luhrmann! SAR hosts an online discussion with Luhrmann, who is the Albert Ray Lang Professor of Anthropology at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in Psychology.

Based on decades of wide-ranging fieldwork with evangelical Christians in the U.S., India, and elsewhere, as well as other denominational communities, she argues that it is action, discipline, and repetition that drive faith, rather than the reverse. (Staley Award Committee)
