Postdoctoral Researcher in Religious Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
My research focuses on American religions and secularism, specializing in how new religious movements, Asian American religions, and the religiously unaffiliated shape modern American culture. I employ humanistic and social scientific methods to investigate how religion is constructed through discourse, practices, and institutions. I have published work on the Universal Life Church and contemporary American weddings, organic foods in new religious movements, biodiversity and spiritual wellbeing, and religion in the American West.
Current projects include the Meaning of Religion Project, part of an intergenerational study of religion, spirituality, and values funded by the John Templeton Foundation; the Secular Communities Survey, the largest-ever study of organized nonbelievers in the U.S.; a co-edited volume (with Melissa Borja) on Asian American Religions, Religious Freedom, and the State; and a monograph on the Universal Life Church. I am also developing articles about the Orientalist origins of the brainwashing concept and its application against Asian American new religions, the Esalen Institute’s spiritualization of geopolitics, and the federal taxation of religious groups.
I have conducted podcast interviews and written articles for the Religious Studies Project, published book reviews and encyclopedia entries, and contributed articles for academic blogs. These can be found here.
I am co-chair of the AAR’s Sociology of Religion Unit and I serve on the steering committee of AAR’s Asian North American Religion, Culture, & Society Unit.
Previously, I was a visiting assistant teaching professor at the University of Southern Mississippi and a lecturer at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Associate professor of history, Université de Montréal
My research interests concern the processes of reform and centralization in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire throughout the 19th century (Egypt, Syria, Iraq, North Africa), from a cultural and social perspective. The central role of the press and associations in the emergence of a public space during the Arab Renaissance and the issues of education and citizenship in the colonial and post-colonial periods are central to my research.
At the same time, my work bears on the symmetrical processes of professionalization and the popularization of Islamic expertise in the 20th century. More specifically, I am interested in the institutional and curricular development of mosque-universities such as al-Azhar, Zaytuna and Qarawiyyin, from the 18th century until their nationalization in the 1960s, and also in the legacies and uses of Islamic historiography, philosophy and law in the contemporary period, particularly in nationalism and Islamism.
My current research aims to contribute to the cultural history of Arab nationalism and to define its key institutions: volunteer associations and secret societies; scouting movements; school textbooks.

Assistant Professor of History, Alfred University
Eben Levey completed his PhD in 2021 at the University of Maryland, College Park. Prior to Alfred University, he taught at Boise State University. Western Washington University, American University and University of Maryland, College Park.
Levey’s dissertation, “From Liberation Theology to Teologia India: The Progressive Catholic Church in Southern Mexico, 1954-1994,” expanded the scope of histories of Liberation Theology (a progressive Catholic movement that emerged in the late 1960s) by centering a focus on Indigenous Mexico. He asked two parallel questions: How did Liberation Theology change the fabric of Indigenous Mexico? And, how did Indigenous Mexico change Liberation Theology? Levey shows how Indigenous Catholics pushed progressive liberationists to move beyond mere class-based analysis and incorporate Indigenous demands for multiculturalism, self-determination, and local autonomy in ways that would both open the Roman Catholic Church to indigenous ways of being Catholic and later become the framework for official multiculturalism in Mexican government policy of the 1990s and into the twenty-first century.
Levey is currently working on transforming his dissertation into a book manuscript and he recently published two articles that grew out of his dissertation research:
“Making Liberation Theology Indigenous: The Seminario Regional del Sureste (SERESURE) and Indigenous Mexico, 1969-1990,” in Christian Bueschges, ed., Liberation Theology and the Other(s): Contextualizing Latin American Catholic Activism in the Second Half of the 20th Century. Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2021.

In doing so, he seeks to examine underlying mechanisms and provide evidence to underpin future hazard assessments and projections that enable the development of improved resilience and mitigation strategies. Another strand of his research focuses on the role intertidal environments including saltmarshes, seagrass meadows, and tidal flats play in sequestering and storing carbon.
