Here’s what past seminar participants have said:
- As a Ph.D. student, it is a welcoming community in which early career scholars are encouraged to push the boundaries of theory and research to account for the complex and multifaceted phenomenon that is faith. Quite simply, it is one of the most innovative and important research exchanges aimed at the advancement of our field.- Rebecca Peets Arwine former PhD Student, University of Tennessee
- I consider the main benefits of the seminar to be hearing the state of the subfield from those who have been instrumental in building it and connecting with others who are interested in doing similar work. Additionally, some of the feedback on my specific ideas has led me to make substantial changes. – PhD Seminar Participant 2024
