Session Number:  (e.g., A35, A180) Key Word: Key word can include any word or partial word found in the following: Presenter's or Panelist's Name, Paper Title, Text in Abstract. 1 Match Found     A18-102 Special Topics Forum Theme: Posters Session Sponsored by the Program Committee   American Religions Timeline Cyrus Schleifer, Duke University The American Religions Timeline Project (ART Project), an inter-institutional collaboration of scholars of American religions, has developed an interactive and dynamic online timeline of American religions. This timeline and the accompanying website seek to become the Internet's foremost hub for information on the history of religions in America. By creating an interactive resource for both teachers and students interested in American religions, the ART Project will bring together a diverse community of scholars who, through their collective input, will offer both a forum for the discussion of current issues in the study of American Religions as well as providing other scholars an opportunity to expand and revise the timeline. This poster session provides an introduction to the ART Project, its mission and its goals, and a description of the community it hopes to sustain.   Chaotic Encounters: Using Chaos to Deepen Student Learning in the Religion Classroom Tobin Shearer, Northwestern University Chaos theorists have long argued for a reconsideration of disorder. They have shown that discernable and simple rules often govern chaotic events. Religious educators have yet to apply this learning to the classroom. Chaos theory suggests, however, that a few simple rules can channel the energy and apparent destabilization of chaotic encounters into focused, dynamic, and engaged student learning. This interactive teach-in and exhibit demonstrates how instructors in a variety of religious classroom settings can use chaos to meet their pedagogical goals. By applying guidelines based on student ownership, multi-tasking, and simple rules guiding complex processes, instructors can create methods wherein students become far more engaged, take more responsibility for their learning, and remain focused on the task for a longer period of time than when they encounter traditional methods such as lectures or unstructured small group discussion.   Elements of a Spiritually Healthy Community Carolyne Mary Call, Cornell University This poster presents research findings from a survey conducted in Spring of 2007 in a Mid-western county consisting of three metropolitan areas (populations 105,000, 48,500 and 28,000). Community leaders and residents discussed how to define what it means to live in a "spiritually healthy" community and what such a community would look like. To explore these questions research was needed to determine how residents and religious leaders define spiritual health and what elements would be included (e.g. economic realities, religious diversity, etc.). The creation of a survey was the first step in this project. The on-line survey contained demographic questions, a Likert-type scale, and essay questions for qualitative data. The survey was issued to the general public within the county through various means. Findings are presented along with methodological considerations, preliminary analysis, and the proposed future of the project.   Envisioning the Invisible: Issues and Options in The Working Poor: Invisible in America David Reinhart, DePaul University The poster ultimately presents religious ethics as a possibility for new perspectives on problems of distributive justice. First, the viewer is confronted with a social scientific observation of the working poor, as portrayed in David Shipler’s The Working Poor: Invisible in America. The trope of the invisible-becoming-visible is intended to function on at least three levels within the poster, seeing the reality of the working poor in pictures/text, the partial visibility enabled by various distributive theories, and then envisioning new possibilities for economic justice in America. Game Theory and Theology Gregory Ellis, Moravian Theological Seminary Game theory has proven to be invaluable to other fields and is an excellent tool to start using in theology. Game theory is applied to Biblical exegesis and theological questions. Mathematical concepts of game theory are utilized to examine relationships among individuals, communities and the Divine. When John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern introduced game theory to the field of economics, they were not attempting to answer new questions. They were attempting “to obtain a real understanding of the problem of exchange by studying it from an altogether different angle; this is, from the perspective of a ‘game of strategy.’” In the same spirit, game theory is used to gain an understanding of previously asked questions from a new perspective.   Measuring Time: Fundamentalism, Quantification, and Millennialism Brendan Pietsch, Duke University At the turn of the twentieth century, Americans were enthralled with quantification. Many innovative religious thinkers, particularly fundamentalist prophecy expositors, embraced the technological apparatuses of measurement to construct new forms of religious knowledge. Drawing on elements from popular visual and print culture – cookbooks, almanacs, industrial diagrams, Bible notations, and prophecy charts – this session will seek to illustrate the connections between widespread fascination with quantification and the fundamentalist hermeneutical practices of applying scientific measurement to sacred texts.   Spirituality, Religiosity, and Cancer Coping among African Americans Victor Blake, Morehouse School of Medicine There is ample literature suggesting that cancer patients rely on religiosity/spirituality (RS) to cope with the disease. This is particularly the case for African Americans. However, what is yet to be determined is how, or which aspects of RS are important in cancer coping. Some studies have begun to explore the role of RS in cancer. However, a more thorough and systematic approach is needed, focusing on African Americans' cancer coping and survivorship. Just as there are multiple channels proposed by which RS impacts one's health (e.g., stress reduction, sense of meaning), there are likely multiple mediators of the relationship between RS and cancer coping and survivorship. If these mediators could be identified and operationalized, they could be capitalized upon in cancer support groups, pastoral care, and survivorship interventions. The proposed study will explore mediators of RS and cancer coping among African Americans.   The Therapeutic Effects of Shaman’s Healing Performance on Wounded Emotion: A Neuroreligious and Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective Sang Bok Lee, Kangnam University The author analyzed how Korean Shaman performs his or her healing ritual as well as explicated which ways the Shaman could bring some healing effects on wounded emotion. The author articulated analytical and imagistic modes of the Shaman’s healing processes in the light of clinical neuroscience. The synchronistic limbic state, bringing the highest moment of healing afflicted emotion, was explored as the author articulated the cortical and subcortical processes of the core human emotion: the right hemisphere, the limbic system, the hypothalamus and the pituitary. The author analyzed the twelve steps of Korean Shaman’s healing performance by using video recording tapes and selected written manuscripts. The notion of scientific analogy (Gentner, 1983) in cognitive science was used to integrate and differentiate divergent cognitive domains.   Theology of Hikikomori Hisho Uga, Azusa Pacific University This paper will investigate and suggest some possible Christian responses to the Japanese phenomenon referred to as hikikomori. Over a million Japanese people, most them males in their twenties, have lived in their rooms for over six months, many have stayed in their rooms for over several years. This paper describes this phenomenon, surveys some social science explanations for it, and then considers possible Christian perspectives on it. Particularly, it consider the anxiety, guilt and/or shame that these individuals face in light of God’s intentions in creation and Jesus’ proactive participation in life with all people. Finally, this paper suggests some concrete Christian responses to hikikomori that include educating the area churches so they better empathize with those practicing this behavior, creating programs to encourage those recovering from hikikomori to minister in countries outside their own, and creating seminars for support targeted to parents of those who are practicing hikikomori.   From Word to Image: Seeing God in the Poetry of Phillis Wheatley Stephen Fugitt, Missouri State University, Columbia College This presentation will provide a survey of selected poems by Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley was born in Africa and brought to America in 1761 where she lived with Boston residents John and Susanna Wheatley until they granted her freedom in 1773. She became a fervent Christian and prolific poet and writer. This poster will include reflections of Wheatley's perception of God and the use of biblical concepts in her writings. The display will include both excerpts from her poems and images portraying her work.	More Information Annual Meeting Regional Meetings Program Units Welcome to the AAR's newly redesigned website!
