Hello!
I am Erica Bennett. I grew up in south Louisiana but have spent the last four year at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi. I graduated with a dual major of Religious Studies/ Sociology and Anthropology, and minors in both Theater and Mathematics. My Thesis was titled: “Normalizing New Religious Movements: A Deeper Look into the Effects of Social Opinions of New Religious Movements in the Southeastern United States,” which was accepted for presentation at the Macksey National Undergraduate Research Symposium. I hope to continue my research into New Religious Movements and the lives of their followers, possibly leading towards a Ph.D. or a role in research for documentaries.
"I am a woman in a world that is constantly changing, cultures, religions, politics, socially 'acceptable' things, but many of us stay in our safe spaces never interacting with the other side. This has caused many divides and has created an era where civil discussion is hard to come by. I want to be the bridge between those two spaces through my scholastic and digital pursuits." -Me
Currently at the University of Alabama pursuing a MA in Religion in Culture
