Professor Dox’s research contributes to the fields of lived religion and contemplative studies. During her fellowship, Dox wrote an article entitled “Visions of an Inner Life,” in which she analyzes visual images that depict the life of the mind. An article completed during the fellowship, entitled “Performing an Inner Life,” which investigates interiority as a source for action, has been accepted for publication. Also during the fellowship semester, she completed a book manuscript, Reckoning with Spirit in the Paradigm of Performance, under contract with the University of Michigan Press. She received a CLLA successful seed grant to further her work on the ways in which people cultivate a sense of an inner life through the adaptation of biological processes begun during the fellowship semester.
