Anya Foxen: Authenticity for Scholar Practitioners
CSWR Visiting Scholar Anya Foxen is a historian and comparativist scholar of religion. In this “Shorts with Scholars” video, she discusses anxiety around authenticity, a challenge for many scholar practitioners. “On the one hand, of course, we want to be faithful to tradition,” she explains. “On the other hand, the thing about experience is that it never looks the same from culture and culture, from person to person. And so another way to think about authenticity is grounded in the experience.”
