About
Jonathan Lanman is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Coordinator at the Centre for Anthropology of Mind. He taught as a Departmental Lecturer for the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology and as a College Lecturer for Keble College from 2009-2011. He holds both a DPhil and an MSc in Anthropology from Oxford. He also holds an M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a B.A. in English from Southeast Missouri State University.
He is interested in applying the theories and tools of both social and cognitive anthropology to issues in the study of religion, atheism, morality, and intergroup relations. His DPhil research yielded both a descriptive and explanatory account of atheism in the contemporary West, which he is writing up as a monograph. At present, he is collaborating with anthropologists and psychologists on an ESRC Large Grant, entitled Ritual, Community, and Conflict, to ascertain the effects of ritualized behaviour on ingroup cohesion and outgroup hostility across a range of contexts.
He will be based at the University of British Columbia’s psychology department as a Visiting Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the 2011-2012 academic year.
