Spring Workshop: "Public
Scholarship of Religion in an Age of Hypermediation", Boulder, Colorado,

The present era has been said
to be defined by “hypermediation” where the features of ubiquitous mediation
have become the conditions of contemporary knowledge-building. This calls into
question traditional approaches to public scholarship which conceive of it
according to a “publication model”. Hypermediation means that this model is too
simple and at least fails to account for the range of ways and locations that
religion and knowledge of religion are produced today.
