Daniel Capper, Ph.D., since 2000 has been a professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of Southern Mississippi, where he teaches Asian, Native American, and comparative religions. His interdisciplinary research, arising from anthropological, psychological, and environmental science perspectives, explores religious interactions with the nonhuman natural world.
