Dai Liyong, an expert on traditional Chinese religions, was the postdoctoral fellow at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs from 2007 to 2009. His research centered on modernity and religion, religious pluralism, and comparative religions between Christianity and Chinese religions. Dai is the author of Modernity and Chinese Religions (2008). He is currently completing a manuscript on the social forms of Chinese religions and A Confucclesia-Forest-JiangHu-Sect typology and its pluralist implication. Prior to coming to the Berkley Center, he was a reporter, editor and director in a provincial TV station in central China. Dai received his B.A. in politics from Jiang Han University in 1989, an M.A. in philosophy from Wuhan University in 1995, and a Ph.D. in religious studies from Renmin University of China in 2006. Dai’s interest in religious studies came from his personal “pilgrimage.”
