products are not being produced by
sweatshop labor.

Under-studied phenomenon
New Center for the Study of Religion
to promote scholarship on social, cultural
practice
By Justin Harmon
We believe that religion is the most
under-studied social phenomenon of the
20th century," says Robert Wuthnow,
Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor of Social
Sciences.
"Perhaps in part
because of church-state concerns, the
study of religion has been excluded from
the agendas at research universities. Yet
religion is a social and cultural practice
that wields extraordinary influence in
world events."
Wuthnow is founding
director of Princeton's new Center for the
Study of Religion, which will nurture the
understanding of religion within
disciplines other than religious studies
-- such as history, literature, sociology
and anthropology -- and facilitate
interaction among scholars across these
various disciplines.

Group writes, presents "ethnic comedy"
about issues "familiar to all South
Asian-American students"
Desis of Our Lives
By Caroline Moseley
Princeton South Asian Theatrics, a new
student performance group, will make its
debut on March 26 with an "ethnic comedy"
called Desis of Our Lives.
"Desi is a
Hindi slang word that refers to someone of
South Asian origin," explains Karthick
Ramakrishnan, a graduate student in
politics. Used more frequently in this
country than in India, the term means
"someone from the homeland," he says.
