The Genesis of William James’s Psychology of Religion
William James’s two psychological classics—The Principles of Psychology (1890) and The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature (1902)—are widely read but rarely connected. How are James’s psychological theories in The Principles applied in The Varieties? Most scholars say they are not. Our thesis is that, throughout The Varieties, James uses The Principles as the foundation for his psychology of religion. His chapters in The Pr…
Breaking the Asian American Silence at a Time Like This
This contextual re-reading of Esther explores how Asian American individuals and communities can use their agency and voice to protect and uplift one another amid the global pandemic, systemic racism, and rising xenophobia. Anti-Asian hate and violence surged during the COVID-19 crisis in North America, culminating in the shootings in Atlanta on 16 March 2021, where eight people, six of them Asian women, were killed. In response, Asian American t…
Cultivating Virtuous Imagination Among Asian American Dreamers in the Face of Violent Uncertainty
By examining the stories of Asian American Dreamers, or Asian American young adults with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, this essay investigates how these undocumented young adults cultivate virtuous imagination to transcend the violence of uncertainty and radically imagine new paths toward flourishing. The aversive state of structural uncertainty leads them to experience narrative foreclosure and the violent disruption of t…

The coauthors begin by highlighting the limitation of Korean American churches’ emphasis on text-based education, suggesting how pilgrimage as a spiritual practice could be more implemented for more embodied and experiential learning. By analyzing the Trip to the Mother…
Migration, Trauma, and Spirituality
From the Yellow Peril to the Model Minority and Back Again
Anti-Asian xenophobia and discriminatory acts against Asian Americans have increased significantly as the COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread across the US. But connections between diseases, racism, and xenophobia are not new in the history of Asian America. While from the 1890s to the 1950s, Asian Americans were primarily stigmatized with the label 'Yellow Peril,' from the 1960s to the present, they have been simplistically cast as the 'model m…
Do We All Live Story-Shaped Lives? Narrative Identity, Episodic Life, and Religious Experience
This article focuses on exploring the concept of narrative identity, which has emerged as an integrative concept in various academic fields. Particularly in philosophy and psychology, scholars have claimed that humans are storytellers by nature and tell their stories that develop in them a sense of identity. However, this concept has been criticized by those who have argued that while some people are Diachronic (narrative), some are Episodic (non…
