| Introduction | I grew up in Oceanside, CA and I completed the Bachelor's degree in Child Development at San Diego State University in 2004. After a two year-stint in teaching grade school, I moved to the Midwest and completed an MA in Religious Studies at the University of Iowa. I completed the PhD Program at UC Riverside Department of Religious Studies in June 2015. When I am not reading, writing, and talking with people, I enjoy: spending time with my wife; playing basketball, soccer, and tennis; eating international foods; and participating in Baha'i community building. Central to my research questions is whether/how there can be a common framework for warrants of religious-belief commitments across religious traditions by which a person can be both a devoted practitioner of a faith (i.e. ultimate concern, world-view, metaphysical stance, e.g. Judaism, Buddhism, secular humanism) and also hold deep appreciation for the religious convictions of believers of other faith traditions. I believe pursuing these questions can strengthen inter-cultural cooperation and collective participation in grass-roots efforts towards creating communities of human flourishing. |
