Sonja Luehrmann Memorial Fund

Our highly esteemed and beloved colleague and friend, Sonja Luehrmann, passed away on August 24, 2019, a little over two years after she was diagnosed with cancer. In consultation with her family, our department created the .

Throughout her exceptional research and teaching career, Dr. Luehrmann inspired her interlocutors both in and beyond the academy to think more compassionately about the changing landscape of religious belief and social commitment. Rigorously combining methods from both anthropology and history, Dr. Luehrmann鈥檚 research focused on religion and secularism in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.

The Sonja Luehrmann Memorial Fund supports the Dr. Sonja Luehrmann Memorial Lecture, an annual event that celebrates Sonja鈥檚 passion for intellectual engagement. Please consider donating to this fund today.

WATCH AND LEARN: DR. SONJA LUEHRMANN MEMORIAL LECTURE

Through the fund's support, the Dr. Sonja Luehrmann Memorial Lecture continues Sonja's work by bringing emerging and established researchers to 大象传媒 to present lectures that engage our community in ideas related to her research.

Please contact us to find out how your donations can support upcoming lectures. Thank you.
