A Balm in Gilead: Race, Theology, & Black Catholicism
Host: Collegium Institute
Join the Collegium Institute for our Fall 2020 Faith & Reason module, A Balm in Gilead: Race, Theology, & Black Catholicism. Faith & Reason is an interdisciplinary seminar that investigates the relationship and relevance of Christian thought to life in the modern world and university.  Past modules have explored a variety of topics, from mental health to beauty, through an intentionally interdisciplinary means, bringing together voices from theology, philosophy, poetry, fiction and the arts. With this approach we probe the theological imagination, to try to understand the relationship between faith and reason, and to seek a better understanding of the world and the transcendent.

Listening Well After the 2020 Election
Host: SNF Paideia Program
The 2020 U.S. election emphasized deep U.S. fragmentation around issues of culture, economics, race and even responses to the COVID 19 pandemic. As Thanksgiving approaches and we imagine encountering friends and family who may have voted differently than we did, how are we thinking about those conversations? Is there a way to restore trust and repair relationships?
