Carolyn Chen, Assistant Professor of Sociology, (Ph.D.,
University of
California, Berkeley, 2002) joined the Sociology and Asian
American Studies faculty in 2003. She is currently finishing a
book manuscript, Getting
Saved in America: Taiwanese Immigrants Converting to
Evangelical Christianity and Buddhism, which will be published
by Princeton University Press. Based on ethnographic fieldwork
and in-depth interviews, the study examines how religious
conversion to Buddhism and evangelical Christianity reconstructs
community and selfhood for Taiwanese immigrants. She is
currently working on a new project that examines health and
spirituality in the United States. Her areas of research interest
are religion, immigration, and race/ethnicity.
