Girardot lectures in U.S., Canada

Girardot, University Distinguished Professor in the religion studies department, gave the first talk on contemporary Daoism titled Dao Now Oh Wow: American Daoism Today. This talk was given as the inaugural lecture in the Religious Studies Lecture Series at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Ga., in early November.
A second presentation titled My Legge Work: Reflections on the Victorian Translation of China was given at a special session of the Arts of Interpretation Group at the American Academy of Religion in Toronto, Canada, on Nov. 23.
Most recently, Girardot presented a talk titled Where There is No Vision, the People Perish: Making and Unmaking Worlds in the Work of Howard Finster.
This talk was part of a day-long symposium on Connections to Contemporary Folk Art that was held in relation to the Smithsonian Institution exhibition at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh in early December.
