This January (2015) and am the Teaching Assistant for a 2-week immersion class at Pacific School of Religion. The class, Transformation through Transcendence, explores intersections between different forms of spirituality and the arts, and the kinds of social transformation engendered by various artistic practices. Through visits to various Bay Area museums, galleries, artists’ residencies, pop-up art and performance spaces, and houses of workshop (synagogues, churches, mosques), the class will experience how the arts have incubated both transcendence and social change.

The course is integrated with Pacific School of Religion’s 2015 three day Earl Lecture series, Be|Arts|Now
