Cross-Cultural Conceptions of Self and Persistence

Here is where to find all the outcomes related to a project that aims to investigate conceptualizations of “self” relative to religious traditions in Africa, South and East Asia.* We designed the project as an asynchronous online symposium, whose outcomes are made public on this website. Our practical goal is to show how online platforms can be used to do research on less-commonly-taught perspectives from Africa, South Asia, and East Asia.
