Description

American Examples: New Conversations about Religion, Volume Three, is the third in a series of annual anthologies produced by the American Examples workshop hosted by the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. In the latest volume from this innovative academic project, ten topically and methodologically diverse scholars vividly reimagine the meaning and applications of American religious history. These ten chapters use case studies from America, broadly conceived, to ask trenchant theoretical questions that are of interest to scholars and students within and beyond the subfield of American religious history.

She is a scholar of contemporary American religion with degrees in religious studies from Yale University, Harvard Divinity School, and Kalamazoo College. Her work focuses on the intersections of health, capitalism, and religion in everyday life. Her current research examines how religion and spiritualty became embedded in the fitness and wellness industry. Erik Kline is Assistant Professor of American Literature at University of Wisconsin River Falls. He received his PhD in American Literature at the University of Alabama. His research interests include 20th century American fiction and autobiography, addiction studies, and word-image studies. His work has appeared in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review (Duke UP) and Let Us Now Praise Famous Men at 75: Anniversary Essays (U of Tennessee P), and he is currently working on a monograph that examines intersections of travel, intoxication, and religious experience in postmodern American autofiction.

Altman is Associate Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. He researches and teach courses about the category “religion” in American history and culture. More specifically, he uses examples of religion in America to explore larger questions about how people and groups use “religion” to separate “us” from “them.” His first book, Heathen, Hindoo, Hindu: American Representations of India, 1721-1893 (Oxford University Press, 2017) examined a variety of ways Americans used representations of religion in India to argue over what counted as American at home. He has written other articles and book chapters on Asian religions in America, religion in film, podcasting in religious studies, and American evangelicalism.
