In this episode, I talk with Dr. Michael Di Giovine and Dr. Jaeyeon Choe. They have recently published an edited book entitled Pilgrimage Beyond the Officially Sacred: Understanding the Geographies of Religion and Spirituality in Sacred Travel. In this podcast episode, we discuss their book as well as their perspectives on what is sacred, what is pilgrimage, and new directions in the field of pilgrimage studies and sacred travel. Dr. Di Giovine is Associate Professor of Anthropology at West Chester University in Pennsylvania in the USA and Dr. Choe is a senior academic at Bournemouth University in England.
