In 2010, I left my job in management to pursue a career in academia. After an RMA at the UvA, I did my PhD at the RUG. My dissertation has been downloaded nearly 20,000 times and was published by BRILL (2018). Yesterday, I received the Mallinckrodt Prize for it. A cherry on top of my career change.

My book, _Say Hello to Metamodernism!_ has been reviewed in the journal _English Studies_, which I understand is a rather prestigious European journal. It's overall a positive review, with a few gentle critiques, which I like because it makes it feel more real. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/FTKAC...

Mijn nieuwe boek komt eraan in november. Hier is alvast de cover. Wat de inhoud betreft: ik duik in de bronteksten van verschillende tradities en ga te rade bij grote wijsgeren om te verhelderen wat er werkelijk schuilgaat onder woorden als ‘God’, ‘Allah’ of ‘Brahman’.

Today’s metamodern spiritualities are not simply reviving or rejecting “secular” and “religious” traditions, but weaving them into new sources of meaning. Curious to find out where spirituality is headed, but cannot access my article? 50 free online copies here: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/8YGWZ...
