 The benefits that we can learn from each other and triangulate, because the way our disciplines are structured in modern academia, they're based on methods, but we are driven by questions. So our methods need to be opportunistic, and different disciplines use different methods. So by coming together, we're learning from each other on how to tackle the same questions in different ways. My approach in studying religious phenomena and religious experiences is combining insights from anthropology and psychology, I'm trained in both. And what I do is rather than taking people out of context and moving them into a lab, try to bring the lab into context by moving it into the field. I've attended similar kinds of workshops before, and every time it leaves them with the same impression, which is at first it's a bit awkward. People don't immediately understand what others are doing, but at the end of the day, at the end of the workshop, there's always learning on both sides. So I think by now we have reached a better understanding of what each of the two sides is doing, and we have a better sense of what potential avenues of collaboration are. It was very useful for me to attend, and I was expecting it to be useful, because throughout my career I've always been working between the humanities and the sciences, in between different disciplines, between anthropology and psychology, between field methods and experimental methods. And this is kind of my bread and butter, being between two disciplines, and I know that it's always awkward at first, but it usually ends well, and I think this time it also ended very well. Most of my work is radically collaborative. If you look at my publications, usually they include five, eight, ten co-authors. And each time we begin a project, everybody learns a lot. So you come together with people working in psychology and neuroscience and history and archaeology, and at the end of the day you realize that what drives you is that you're all looking for answers to the same questions. You're trained in different methods, but you're after the same kinds of answers. And getting together means that you learn from each other, but it also means that you're able to combine your skills in a way that it's greater than the sum of its parts.
