A letter about Professor Jenna Weissman Joselit

June 7, 2001

I was delighted to see that visiting religion professor Jenna Weissman Joselit (Faculty, file May 16) – easily one of the best professors I had at Princeton – continues to blaze her own trail. As a teacher, and a scholar, she continues to show how religion is relevant in everyday life. Her fresh, invigorating approach to the study of religion a great source of inspiration to me. Buoyed by her seminar on the relationship between religion and money, I wrote my JP on the history of church collections and tithing. I also recall that her sense of style was impeccable, so I imagine she is quite the authority in her latest course on the role of religion in fashion! I only hope that this visiting professor will one day decide to stay at Princeton permanently.
