Tanya Marie Luhrmann is the Albert Ray Lang Professor of Anthropology at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in Psychology. Her work focuses on the edge of experience: on voices, visions, the world of the supernatural and the world of psychosis. She has done ethnography on the streets of Chicago with homeless and psychotic women, and worked with people who hear voices in Chennai, Accra and the South Bay. She has also done fieldwork with evangelical Christians who seek to hear God speak back, with Zoroastrians who set out to create a more mystical faith, and with people who practice magic. She uses a combination of ethnographic and experimental methods to understand the phenomenology of unusual sensory experiences, the way they are shaped by ideas about minds and persons, and what we can learn from this social shaping that can help us to help those whose voices are distressing. At the heart of the work is the sense of being called, and its possibilities and burden.
She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and received a John Guggenheim Fellowship award in 2007. When God Talks Back was named a NYT Notable Book of the Year and a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year. It was awarded the $100,000 Grawemeyer Prize for Religion by the University of Louisville. She has published over thirty OpEds in The New York Times, and her work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement, Science News, and many other publications. She is the author of Persuasions of the Witch’s Craft, The Good Parsi, Of Two Minds, When God Talks Back, Our Most Troubling Madness, and How God Becomes Real and other books, and is currently at work on a book entitled Voices. | |

John Lukacs was one of the master interpreters of the modern era, that is, of Western Civilization since 1500. His knowledge of politics and society in Europe and America was unrivalled for breadth and suffused with philosophic imagination. He at home in the wide survey (The Passing of the Modern Age), the local study (Philadelphia: Patricians & Philistines), and the cultural inquiry (Historical Consciousness), these being three of his distinctive contributions. He could conjure before us a city (Budapest: 1900) or the conflict of titans (The Duel: Churchill and Hitler, May-July 1940). By their conception and execution every one of Dr. Lukacs's works fills a gap in our intelligence of the world we live in. Born in Hungary, Dr. Lukacs was a graduate of Palatine Joseph University, Budapest (Ph.D., 1946). For over fifty years he served on the faculty of Chesnut Hill College, becoming Professor Emeritus after 1994. He remained at work into the latest year of his life, publishing his final book, "We at the Center of the Universe," in 2017. John Lukacs died on May 6, 2019 in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania at the age of 95. | |

Sabine MacCormack was a historian of the Roman empire, late antiquity and the early modern Spanish world, with a special interest in the peoples and cultures of the Andes. She had worked on the reasons for, and consequences of, political and religious change, focusing on the impact of Christianity in the Roman Mediterranean and in the Andes.

Her interest in teaching was focused on the nature of knowledge: on what we think we know, and why, and what we might actually know. She was the Theodore M. Hesburgh Professor of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame at the time of her death June 16, 2012, at the age of 71. , Dr. MacCormack had previously taught at Stanford University and the University of Michigan.

Linda R. Manzanilla is one of the most important and internationally renowned archaeologists in Mexico. A highly productive scholar, she has made key contributions in both empirical research and in theoretical and methodological understandings of the development of ancient civilizations. Both the breadth of her fieldwork (she has undertaken significant research in Mexico, Bolivia, Turkey, and Egypt) and the depth of her insights, especially in regard to new perspectives on the rise, growth, structure, and collapse of the great pre-Columbian city of Teotihuacan, have made Professor Manzanilla one of the leading scholars in the world in the study of early cities and states and their development through time and space. Since 1984 she has been an investigator and professor at the Institute of Anthropological Investigations at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. | |

Joyce Marcus is Robert L. Carneiro Distinguished University Professor and Curator of Latin American Archaeology at the University of Michigan. A major figure in American archaeology, she is a prolific scholar who has made key contributions to understandings of the ancient civilizations of the Zapotecs (Mexico), the Maya (Mexico and Central America), and the Incas and their predecessors (Peru).

Her writings are widely read and cited and are highly influential in the field. Dr. Marcus's publications include Emblem and State in the Classic Maya Lowlands: An Epigraphic Approach to Territorial Organization (1976); Mesoamerican Writing Systems: Propaganda, Myth, and History in Four Ancient Civilizations (1992); and (with K. Flannery) Zapotec Civilization: How Urban Society Evolved in Mexico's Oaxaca Valley (1996).

Avishai Margalit is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has done important philosophical work on language, rationality, politics, and morality. Though he uses analytical methods, he is notable within analytic philosophy for drawing on the complexity of historical examples and cultural context. One of his most significant contributions is his argument that politics focuses on avoiding evil rather than pursuing the good, and thus that the goal of a decent society that is free of humiliation is prior to the goal of the just society. In addition to his academic work, Avishai Margalit is a public representative of philosophy. He has been a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books since 1984. He has at various times been involved in work towards and promotion of peace in Israel and Palestine. Avishai Margalit was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2018. | |
