The purpose of the Center for Spirituality and the Mind is to develop, organize, and coordinate research, scholarship, education, and dialogue, both locally and globally, that focuses on the relationship between spirituality and the brain.
This Center will fill a major gap that was specifically identified
by University President Amy Gutmann by establishing a University wide interdisciplinary
program on a topic with deep relevance to society, health, and academia.
This Center, through its primary functions will seek to increase access
both academically and publicly of a very relevant topic in the United States
and throughout the world. By establishing courses, teaching materials, public
and academic lecture programs, and local and internet outreach programs,
the dialogue regarding the relationship between the mind and spirituality
will be available for all individuals interested in this issue. This Center
will have a primary focus of expanding knowledge by creating an interdisciplinary
group of faculty throughout all of the schools of the University.
