Michel Mohr
Associate Professor and Graduate Chair
Ph.D., University of Geneva in Switzerland, 1992
Since Fall 2008, Michel Mohr has assumed the role of Graduate Chair and has continued to develop graduate studies in the Department of Religion. His research focuses on Japanese religions, with a special emphasis on the Tokugawa and Meiji periods. Because of his grounding in the study of Indian and Chinese religious traditions, he has a deep interest in nondenominational approaches to religious experience. Born in Europe and having lived almost twenty years in Japan, his inquisitive mind is open to all serious approaches to the true self. Recent publications include the chapters "The Use of Traps and Snares: Shaku Sōen Revisited," in Zen Masters (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010), “Invocation of the Sage: The Ritual to Glorify the Emperor,” in Zen Ritual: Studies of Zen Buddhist Theory in Practice (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008), and the article “Murakami Senshō: In Search of the Fundamental Unity of Buddhism,” in The Eastern Buddhist 37/1-2. For current research projects and his latest publications in English, Japanese, and French, please consult his personal website.
