Khyati Joshi joins Religion News Service as new columnist
Religion News Service (RNS), thanks to a grant from the Guru Krupa Foundation, is pleased to announce that Dr. Khyati Y. Joshi has joined RNS as a columnist covering Hindus and Hinduism. Her first column focuses on Vice President Kamala Harris’ “embodied diversity” and how Harris and second gentleman Douglas Emhoff offer a model for interfaith families.
Joshi is a professor of education at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey and a social science researcher whose work focuses on the intersections of race and religion in the United States.
“I’m looking forward to writing about current events and emerging issues that illuminate how religion is lived in America. My writing will combine my scholarship with stories from the daily experiences and sensations of being neither White nor Christian in a country where both are normative,” said Professor Joshi
