'Quitting Your Day Job: Chauncey Hare's Photographic Work' is the first critical biography of the American photographer Chauncey Hare (1934-2019). Although Hare received a significant, if fleeting, degree of professional success, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1977, an Aperture monograph, and three Guggenheim fellowships, his work has not received the critical attention it deserves and his extraordinary life story remains obscure. This lack of recognition has much to do with Hare's fanatical aversion to the commercial realms of the art world even at the height of his professional success. Perhaps his most overt declaration of aesthetic disavowal was his ultimate decision to renounce his identity as an artist in 1985 and pursue a career as a clinical therapist specializing in "work abuse" (which is also the title of a book he co-authored on the subject in 1997). Hare would subsequently donate his entire archive to the Bancroft Library at the University of California - notably not the Berkeley Museum of Art - with the provision that the original prints cannot be exhibited and that any reproduction of his work must include a caption that states that the photograph was created to protest and "warn against the growing domination of working people by multinational corporations and their elite owners and managers."

The Hare Krishna movement is a modern manifestation of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, which has its roots in sixteenth century West Bengal, India. The tradition was institutionalized in a modern form when it was registered as the International Societyfor Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in New York City in 1966 by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Its mission was to present bhakti-yoga (the yoga of devotion) to a Western audience. This Element introduces the historical origins of the movement and examines its beliefs and practices within the context of its institutional and community dynamics. It also considers the Hare Krishna movement's changing relationship with mainstream society and its shifting demographic makeup in tandem with key challenges and controversies that have beset the movement throughout its history. The Element concludes by considering how the movement's responses to a new set of issues and challenges are pivotal for its future direction in the twenty-first century
