The UChicago 101 series was created by Russell Johnson in 2012. 101s are casual, no-prior-knowledge-required presentations on topics loosely related to the academic study of religion (and when you think about it, what isn't?) Do you know a lot about something? Presenting a 101 is less demanding than you might think! If you have an idea for a 101, write to Miriam at mattia@uchicago.edu and maybe we'll have the pleasure of learning from you in the future!
