Dr. Tyler M. Tully is the former Arthur Peacocke Graduate Scholar in Religion and Science at Exeter College, University of Oxford. His research focuses primarily on the Chickasaw Nation, with particular emphasis on the critical reassessment of Chickasaw history and its historical representations. His doctoral thesis drew extensively on archival research and material culture analysis to challenge established paradigms in the study of religion, demonstrating that the Chickasaw students enrolled at the first Federal Indian Boarding Schools in their homeland maintained their unique ways of being and knowing long after their forced removal to Indian Territory.
Join Matt Sheedy, Tyler Tully, and host Candace Mixon as they discuss the ramifications of the in-progress Supreme Court case Groff vs. Dejoy, the Catholic Church’s decision to rescind the Doctrine of Discovery, and a recent controversial tweet by the conservative media pundit, Ann Coulter. In threading these discussions together, they consider religion as negotiated in the public sphere and the limits of accommodations across religious boundaries.
Decolonization requires changing the politics of academia's knowledge production, argues Tyler M. Tully in this response to Episode 337: Decolonizing the Study of Religion with Malory Nye.
