Members of the ϳԹ community are invited to the next Distinguished Scholars in the Public Humanities talk featuring , professor of religious studies.
Sarma will present “Is There an Ordinary State of Consciousness?” Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 5 p.m. in Tinkham Veale University Center, Ballroom A. Sarma’s lecture will be followed by a reception.
With this talk, Sarma intends to disrupt the status quo and will challenge attendees to think in new ways about states of consciousness—both ordinary and non-ordinary.
“The current curiosity about altered states of consciousness and the therapeutic value of so-called psychedelic substances begs the question of what is to be considered ‘normal,’” Sarma said. “Attendees can expect to question their basic beliefs, and to leave transformed and transfigured.”
