Toddlers and Teas: Parenting in a Multireligious World

Abstract

We met several years ago through a colleague. Mugdha was working on her PhD at Arizona State University, but living in Los Angeles because of her husband’s job. We got to know each other a little through our participation in the Los Angeles Hindu-Catholic Dialogue. When Mugdha presented her ethnographic findings to the group after a major research trip to India, we realized that we had some shared scholarly interests. Later, Mugdha would teach part-time at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), inhabiting an office across from Tracy. As colleagues and interreligious dialoguers, our relationship was cordial.
