J. Christian Greer, Ph.D., is a scholar of religious studies with a special focus on psychedelic culture. His forthcoming book, Angelheaded Hipsters: Psychedelic Militancy in Nineteen Eighties North America (Oxford University Press), analyzes the diversification and expansion of psychedelic culture within fanzine networks in the late Cold War era. As a fellow at the ISM, he will use the Beinecke’s collections to research his second book, which will be the first investigation of its kind into the historical imbrication of psychedelic spirituality and the movement for Civil Rights.
