LEVYNA: Laboratory for the Experimental Study of Religions

Ales̃ Chalupa, head of the Department for the Study of Religions at Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic), invited me (and Lee McCorkle) to apply with him for a major grant from the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports to fund a Laboratory for the Experimental Research of Religion. We were successful (because Ales̃ did all the work). Dimitris Xygalatas and Lee McCorkle were appointed co-directors of LEVYNA. The group has many exciting projects in the works.
