Seminar leader Catherine Albanese
of the University of California at Santa Barbara aided
the participants in exploring new approaches to teaching
American religion. |
Beginning in 1991, fifteen young scholars from across the
nation, selected from over 100 applicants, convened in Indianapolis
for four two-day seminars. Two of the seminars were devoted
to teaching the introductory course in American religion,
and two were devoted to the enhancement of research and
publication. Professor Catherine Albanese of the University
of California, Santa Barbara served as the director of the
seminars on teaching. Professor William Hutchison of the
Harvard Divinity School led the seminars on research and
publication.
