Under the supervision of Dr. Anthony B. Pinn, the African American Religion concentration at Rice University currently consist of four students, while a over a dozen have graduated the program over the last decade. All of us do work in African American Religious Studies, but our research interests, theoretical and methodological commitments, and dissertation projects vary widely. On this website, you’ll find more information about current and former graduate students and news about our upcoming events and recent publications. We also invite you to listen to our podcast series, “What’s the Thesis,” an ongoing series of interviews with scholars in African American Religion and related fields.
