BOWLING GREEN, O.—Bowling Green State University psychology professors Annette Mahoney and Kenneth Pargament have been at
the forefront of serious scientific study of spirituality and its impact on individuals and the social fabric. On Tuesday
(April 10), they'll talk about their work.
Their current research—supported by a $1.2 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation—examines the helpful and harmful
ways that spirituality expresses itself among families in the midst of major life transitions.
Mahoney and Pargament will offer a look into perhaps the least understood but most uniquely human dimension of life at 4 p.m.
Tuesday (April 10) in 206 Bowen-Thompson Student Union at BGSU. Their College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Faculty Lecture
is titled “Sacred Matters: Exploring the Spiritual Dimensions of Marital and Family Ties.”
