Dear FEASTies,

Just wanted to let you know that the FEAST volume from our most recent conference has now been published.  You may access it by clicking the link below; I’ve also included an overview of the contributors and articles, below.  As you’ll see, the authors have contributed articles that push our understanding of pluralism in rich and divergent ways.  It was both a pleasure, and an intellectual challenge, to immerse myself in their ideas for the past two years.  I think you’ll also find the volume to be thought provoking and valuable. Enjoy and share the publication with those who might be interested.

Best wishes—

Jean Keller
