New Post in Asian Religions

Posted by Religious Studies on May 6, 2009 in News

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Christopher Austin has accepted the post in Eastern Religions in the Religious Studies Programme. Dr. Austin holds a PhD from McMaster University; his areas of special interest include Sanskrit Epic literature and Hindu traditions of the god Vishnu.  He impressed the department with his philological and historical knowledge, and the depth and seriousness of his understanding of the religions he teaches. We are confident that his approaches to the study and teaching of religion will blend with those developed within the Religious Studies Programme.  With this appointment, the core of the Religious Studies Programme is in place.Â
