Early life and Professional career

In 2001, she earned her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California, San Diego,[3] where she began her exploration of the relationship between culture, religion, and society.[4] As a professor of anthropology,[5] she holds a joint appointment in the Anthropology Department and the School of Integrative Studies' Religious Studies program at Grand Valley State University.[6] [7] [8]

Weibel has investigated the cultural importance of pilgrimage activities in a variety of religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism, through in-depth fieldwork and ethnographic investigations.[9] [10]

She is the co-founder and co-organizer of the Roger That! Event in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[11]

Weibel has been a Fellow National in the Explorers Club and chair of the Chicago/Great Lakes chapter.[12]

Weibel coined the term 'ultraview effect,' inspired by Frank White's 'overview effect,' to describe the transformative impact of viewing stars from space experienced by some astronauts.[13]
