Ashcraft Publishes Article and Attends Workshop

Michael Ashcraft, professor of religion, published the article “Judith Tyberg, Raja, Yoga, and the Journey of a Theosophist to Hinduism” in The Journal of San Diego History Fall/Winter 2024.

Ashcraft also attended a workshop by invitation to discuss memoirs by ex-members of the religious organization Jehovah’s Witnesses at their international headquarters in New York, March 27-31. The workshop lasted for three days and included tours of the headquarters, museums and several hours of discussion among scholars about a wide range of issues concerning the Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is likely that an academic handbook will be produced from this workshop.
