Since 2012, the students in African American Religion at Rice have worked on a numerous projects regarding embodiment and religion. Beginning in 2012, Dr. Anthony B. Pinn and Dr. Gordon Lynch, Michael Ramsey Professor of Modern Theology at the University of Kent—along with some of their graduate students—organized and participated in several workshops, funded by Rice, in both Houston (USA) and Canterbury (UK). During these workshops, they discussed various topics related to the study of religion and embodiment. These workshops resulted in two separate projects: a website, Embodying Religion, and a forthcoming book, Embodiment and Black Religion: Rethinking the Body in African American Religious Experience.
