Deana Weibel is an anthropologist and author, living in Michigan, USA.

Early life and Professional career

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

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.

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

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

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.
