The Western Regional Meeting of the American Academy of Religion gathered at Santa Clara University March 20-22, 2015. At one of the sessions of the “Religion in America Unit,” Prof. Philip Boo Riley, Vice Chair of SiVIC, along with Board Chair Rev. D. Andrew Kille and Board Member Henry Millstein, presented some reflections on “Religion in Silicon Valley.” Dr. Riley outlined some issues and concerns in religious studies about the tendency to study and teach religions as if they were monolithic, static, and easily defined, and asked if it was possible to do interreligious work without falling into those traps.
