He is currently Professor in the Department of Religion and chair in Science and Technology Studies at Williams College.[2] He also holds affiliated positions in Asian studies and Comparative Literature at Williams College. Storm's research focuses on Japanese religions, European intellectual history from 1600 to the present, and theory in religious studies.[2] His more recent work has discussed disenchantment and philosophy of social science.
Storm has written three books and over a dozen academic essays in English.[2] He has also published articles in French and Japanese, and translated academic essays and primary sources from Japanese to English. His first book, The Invention of Religion in Japan, earned the 2013 "Distinguished Book Award" from the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion and was a finalist for the American Academy of Religion's "Best First Book" award in the History of Religions.[4][2] His third book, Metamodernism: The Future of Theory, won the 2022 award for Excellence in the Study of Religion (Constructive-Reflexive Studies) by the American Academy of Religion.[6] Benjamin G. Robinson, a scholar of religion and race, has described Storm's work as "seminal."[7]
