ANNOUNCEMENT
You are cordially invited to
join graduate students from around the country for the inaugural
Student Symposium on Science and Spirituality—a new annual religion and
science conference presented by students for fellow students, as well
as faculty and the public. It is sponsored by Hyde Park Religion and Science Society and Zygon Center for Religion and Science, and will be held on Friday, May 1, 2009, at Lutheran
School of Theology at Chicago.
Student paper sessions will probe dimensions of the relationship
between God/the Sacred and the world from multiple disciplinary,
denominational, cultural, and religious angles. Sessions will cover
topics such as chaos and emergence, metaphysics and poetics, economies
of spirituality, suffering and liberation, and images of God.
Additionally, the Symposium will feature a special afternoon panel on
interfaith action for the environment.
The speaker lineup includes graduate students from such
institutions as the University of Chicago, Regent University, Catholic Theological Union,
Princeton Theological Seminary, Florida State University, Lutheran
School of Theology at Chicago, Duke University Divinity School, Meadville-Lombard Theological School, Bethel Seminary,
Loyola University Chicago, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,
and the University of Toronto.
The
plenary speaker is psychologist and philosopher of religion Dr. James W.
Jones (Rutgers University), who will deliver a lecture entitled “A
Pragmatic Ecstasy: Practicing Religion and Science.”
Registration is free of charge, and the first 100 registrants
