Some people know that I’ve had the good fortune to be invited to the Republic of Korea several times. I give lectures and spend time thinking about things with my good friend and collaborator, Prof Yong Sup Song of Seoul Christian University (he’s on the right…but look at what’s behind us!).
These kinds of opportunities are rare in academia, and I am grateful. But if we are to find solutions to the problems we face, we desperately need to find was of connecting with one another around the world.
It matters whether or not we can work together and think together. It matters whether we can find solutions together. I believe that scholars in the study of religion and culture have ideas worth hearing, especially when we get past the muddle of jargon and start really thinking about how people around the world perceive the problems and their potential solutions.
We also eat a lot of delicious food.

This particular meal, with my Travel Fish sitting amongst it, was one of the finest meals I’ve ever eaten. Maybe the finest. I am still in awe.
