Beginning in 2012, Dr. Anthony B. Pinn, Agnes Cullen Arnold Professor of Humanities and Professor of Religious Studies at Rice University, 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, which resulted in a website and a forthcoming book project.
