Dr. Greg Emery

Dr. Greg Emery served as the Director and a Faculty Member of the Global Leadership Center at Ohio University until spring 2015. He obtained his Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Religion from Temple University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA). He spent 1988-89 doing dissertation research on Hermeneutics and Existential Theology at the Universitaet Hamburg (Germany) as a Fulbright Scholar. He also holds a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Finance. He became a Pluralism Project affiliate in 2003, leading Ohio University students in research that documented and explored the New Vrindaban (Hare Krishna) community in nearby Moundsville, West Virginia (approximately 150 miles from Ohio University). Of the importance of this research, Dr. Emery wrote: "New Vrindaban has an exciting—if turbulent—history, a continually shifting demographic base, and a unique role in American history."
