Dr. Eva Kundtová Klocová with her recently defended dissertation "Body in Ritual Space: Communicating Through Embedded Practices in Religious Ritual" was awarded third place in the Dean's Prize for Excellent Dissertations.
This award is announced annually as part of the Humanities Week. Dr. Kundtová Klocová capitalized on her long-term research on the role of physicality in religious ritual practice and its influence on the cognitive and affective part of religious life. Thus, this work represents an extremely valuable contribution to the embodied cognition research.
Coedited by Martin Lang, Benjamin Purzycki, Joseph Henrich, and Ara Norenzayan, and featuring LEVYNA researchers, Religion, Brain & Behavior published a double issue reporting results of the second wave of The Evolution of Religion and Morality Project.
Together with a colleague from University of Connecticut, Peter Maňo published an article on ritual exegesis of Mauritian Hindus in the journal Religion.
