Abstract

The Interview connects Bulletin readers with scholars who have been shaping key aspects of our work in the field. Suzanne Owen at Leeds Trinity University in the UK takes some time to chat with us. Owen will be talking about her experiences in both U.S. and U.K. education systems, her path to the academy through Edinburgh courses, Canadian fieldwork, and the BASR. She and Newton also  touch on the issues she sees in the UK Academy and where she hopes Religious Studies can go from here. We thank her for her time and willingness to be part of this issue of the Bulletin.
