Bio:

Dr. Shattuck is a professor with a joint appointment in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the Department of World Religions and Cultures at 澳门六合彩官网直播. Her research focuses on the intersection between religion and sustainability, a subject she explores through fieldwork that examines the motivations and processes through which faith communities implement earth care actions. She is completing a book called "Pathways to Sustainability: The Greening of US Faith Communities," which analyzes sustainability initiatives in 15 US congregations.

Shattuck has a master鈥檚 degree in Religious Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and spent a decade as an adjunct instructor in the Religion departments of 澳门六合彩官网直播 and Kalamazoo College. She also has a master鈥檚 degree in Natural Resources and Environment from the University of Michigan, for which she studied environmental psychology, environmental justice, and conservation biology. In 2010-11, Shattuck worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, developing materials to assist Great Lakes communities in planning for climate change adaptation. She is the author of three books: "Dharma in the Golden State: South Asian Religious Traditions in California" (Fithian Press, 1996); "Hinduism" (Prentice Hall, 1998); and "The Pocket Idiot鈥檚 Guide to Hinduism" (Alpha Books, 2003). Her most recent publication is an essay titled 鈥淓xpressing the Sanctity of Nature鈥 in "This Sacred Earth" (2011).
