Alum Leads Discussion on Pop Theology and Neuroplasticity

Stretch your synapses and warm up your cerebral cortex, because former religion and philosophy student Andrew Aghapour ’07 is arriving on campus to discuss neuroplasticity.

Aghapour, who is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, as well as an amateur comedian, is returning to the College on March 24, 2015, to discuss pop theology and the conceptualization of religion in the modern age.

A regular contributor to Religion Dispatches, Aghapour will explore the ideas of spiritual and scientific authors that include Deepak Chopra and Andrew Newberg in a talk titled, “The Religion of Human Nexus: Neuroplasticity in an Age of Enhancement.”

Aghapour will speak at 3:15 p.m. in the Wells Fargo Auditorium within the Beatty Center at 5 Liberty St. For more information, click here.
