What's New
I have been invited to give a paper at the upcoming "Ritual Dynamics and the Science of Ritual Conference" at the University of Heidelberg in October. My paper is titled From Cyberspace to Sacred Space: Utilizing the Internet and World Wide Web for Ritual Engagement. I'm happy to be a part of the conference, the SFB 619 "Ritualdynamik" people are right at the forefront of ritual and Internet studies.
I was an "on air" expert in a television special on tattoos and tattoo culture for the History Channel. For the show I had a tattoo done in the Inuit technique by Colin Dale from Copenhagen. The special is called Ancient Ink.
I had a great time in California giving my Google “Techtalk.” The presentation I gave is now online for everyone to see! Click here for the link to Turning Cyberspace into Sacred Space: Examining the Religious Revolution Occurring on the World Wide Web.
Introduction
After working in the jewelry industry for several years, I had
the opportunity to return to school and pursue a university education.
Initially I began studying early Christianity, but my interest
continued to be drawn toward religion and contemporary culture.
I found it
fascinating that we were living in a modern and so-called secular
world, yet religious influences continued to have enormous impact
upon the social realm. Despite many sociologists declaring that
religious beliefs, practices, and institutions were losing their
ability to affect the social world and would eventually disappear
or become insignificant, I believed the opposite was occurring.
Namely, that religion continued to play a significant role in the
lives of a majority of the population, influencing the political,
economic, and social spheres of the Western world. Although church
participation patterns may fluctuate, trending towards considerable
decreases over the last fifty years, quantitative data demonstrates
that people continue to believe in some form of "Ultimate Reality"
that transcends the mundane realm. My goal is to study these beliefs
from a sociological perspective, examining how religious manifestations
thrive outside of traditional church institutions, and the impact
this has upon our contemporary social world.
