Degenstein Center Theater
Involved in psychedelic research since 1963, 比尔。理查兹 has implemented projects with LSD, DPT, MDA and psilocybin to investigate the promise of psychedelics in the treatment of alcoholism, 抑郁症, narcotic addiction and the psychological distress associated with terminal cancer and the use of psychedelics in the training of religious and mental-health professionals.
His recent research at Johns Hopkins, in collaboration with colleagues at New York University, has focused on the potential value of psilocybin in the continuing education of professional religious leaders from different world religions. 他的书中, Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences, published by Columbia University Press, has been translated into multiple languages.
Richards received a Master of Divinity at Yale University before going on to earn his doctorate at Catholic University. He studied with Abraham Maslow at Brandeis University and with Hanscarl Leuner at Georg-August University in Göttingen, 德国.
Richards will be available to sign copies of his book, Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences, which will be available for purchase in the Degenstein Center Theater lobby before and after the lecture.
关于项目
每年, the Department of Religious Studies sponsors a lecture by nationally and internationally renowned religious scholars and leaders.
While religious faith is personal, it is never merely private. The lectures typically explore the role religion plays in various aspects of public life: civic, social, 精神上的, 政治, 道德, 环境, and in terms of the formation of individual character.
Lecturers are selected on the basis of their scholarship and their ability to engage students and members of the community meaningfully.
爱丽丝 Pope Shade Fund
Lectures are made possible by the 爱丽丝 Pope Shade Fund, which was established in 1983 by Rebecca Shade Mignot ’54 to honor her mother, 爱丽丝. Mignot graduated from Susquehanna with a degree in music education.
