David Embree wears two hats around Missouri State University. Since 1978, he has been the director of Christian Campus House, a non-denominational student community. In that role, the progression of student generations and their uniquenesses has been a matter of great importance and investigation.
Since 1983, he has taught in the department of religious studies, where his specialty is new religious movements, the groups that many people refer to as “cults.” He has been studying new religions, especially in the Ozarks region, for several decades and has often served as a resource for media outlets seeking insight on such groups.
