My name is Stanislav Panin. I am a scholar interested in the study of contemporary forms of spirituality, philosophy of culture, psychological roots of religion, and social functions of religion and esotericism. I am also fascinated with programming and data science and explore intersections between humanities and new technologies. I currently live in Houston, Texas, finishing my doctoral dissertation in religion at Rice University focusing on GEM – the study of Gnosticism, Esotericism, and Mysticism.
I am currently writing in English and Russian but I can also read French and Spanish. Feel free to contact me at stanislav_panin@gmx.com.
