Robert Gregg is the Teresa Hihn Moore Professor in Religious Studies (emeritus) and served until June 2009 as Director of the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies. His scholarship includes a book on philosophies concerning death and grieving in ancient Greek, Roman, and Christian communities; two volumes concerning struggles over orthodoxy and heresy in 4th century Christianity that are focused on the “arch-heretic” Arius; a translation of Athanasius’ Greek Life of Saint Antony—the famous account of his activities as one of the first Christian desert monks; and a study of 250 Greek, Hebrew/Aramaic, and Latin inscriptions from the Golan that allow glimpses of interactions between Jews, “pagans,” and Christians in the Golan Heights and Syria, 1st-7th centuries CE. Professor Gregg's current writing project treats several “sacred stories” which appear both in the Bible and in the Qur’an—and examines interpretations of these scripture narratives by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim writers and graphic artists in each of the religions’ early centuries.

Steve Quartz is an Associate Professor in the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Computation and Neural Systems Program at Caltech and directs the Brain, Mind, and Society PhD program. His research centers on how new methods in brain science can be integrated into the humanities and social sciences. These research efforts all center on how the brain creates and represents value, in such diverse forms as economic value, aesthetic value and moral value, and how these values figure in our decision-making and behavior. His lab, the Social Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, investigates these issues using functional brain imaging, computational modeling and experimental neurobiology. In addition to his academic research, he has been collaborating with design firms and marketing companies to explore how brain science methods may be applied to their work.
