Claire White

 

I am a Professor at the Religious Studies Department at California State University, Northridge. 

​​

My research explains why specific ideas and behaviors, like grief rituals, recur across cultures. I am also interested in the relationship between religion and well-being. My approach is interdisciplinary and firmly rooted in the cognitive sciences.​

​​

Seeking answers to research questions has taken me to diverse places around the globe, fueling my passion for travel and exploration.
