About the Universe

What if we thought differently about the one scholar = total knowledge model? How might scholars advance the academic study and public understanding of religion and secularism in a way that meets college students’ demand for visual imagery, pithy prose, and compelling narratives? A Universe of Terms is one answer to these questions.

When approaching A Universe of Terms I distinctly understood two challenges. The first was visually representing the abstract, and the second was generating a visual iconography capable of existing alone and alongside text. Once given the selected terms in the Universe, I was excited to create and engage with the project material in my own way.

How were the terms chosen? Are the terms listed on the project page the only ones you’ll cover?  Can I suggest a term for you to feature? Who are the contributors?
