Faculty Experts: The "I" Series - New Signature Core Courses
Issues, Imagination, Intellect, Investigation, Inspiration, Innovation, Implementation!
During the Fall of 2009, the Chair of the University Senate and the Provost officially announced the Spring 2010 pilot of the "I" Series, the signature of the nascent General Education Program. "I"-Series courses begin the transformation of General Education at the University of Maryland. They are designed to investigate significant issues with imagination and intellect with a belief that they will inspire future investigation and provide concrete mechanisms to implement innovative ideas.
These new courses will challenge students to wrestle with the Big Questions and examine the ways in which diverse intellectual traditions address them, offering a students not only new intellectual domains to explore but also new ways to think about contemporary problems like the energy crisis but age old dilemmas like ecological sustainability.
Please see: the "I" Series Home Page for a complete list of courses and descriptions.
Below you'll find our expert's list based on those courses.

Expertise Key Words:
Religious Studies, Biblical Studies, ancient Judaism and early Christianity, Dead Sea Scrolls; Religion and Gender, Religion and Popular Culture, Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion
|
|
|
Expertise Credentials:
My primary scholarly focus is on the construction of religious identity, in individual and collective perspective. My work on the Dead Sea Scrolls has included both technical and popular publications, and I have lectured extensively on the scrolls, their history, the religious communities associated with them, and their significance for our understanding of Judaism, Christianity, and the Bible. My work on religion in popular culture picks up on some of the same themes--of religious identity in individual and collective development--while exploring such diverse topics as religion in country music, popular perceptions of the figure of Jesus, and the popularization of contemporary Witchcraft and Neopaganism.
