by Committee on the Study of Religion

In the midst of your studies, you might wish to attend one last event of academic interest: 'Science, Religion, and the Body' Panel Discussion Thursday December 13, 6-7:30pm Kresge Foundation Room, Barker Center 114, 12 Quincy St. Please join us for a panel discussion as part of the Science, Religion and Culture Mahindra Humanities Seminar, featuring Harvard Divinity School faculty members Janet Gyatso, Karen King, Ahmed Ragab, and Mayra Rivera Rivera. The Science, Religion, and Culture Mahindra Humanities Seminar provides an opportunity to critically interrogate the categories of science, religion, and culture; the socio-cultural and discursive processes that create and transform these categories; and the structures of authority attached to them. It sponsors conversations among scholars using anthropological, sociological, historical, and philosophical methods with special interest in questions of race, gender, and sexuality, as well as the different strategies of inclusion and exclusion that transform the production and consumption of knowledge. This seminar series will host several Harvard faculty members as well as scholars from the wider academy who will discuss general themes pertaining to the series focus on science, religion, and culture.

How do these dimensions interact to create misunderstanding that impedes collaborative endeavors? Alternatively, are there ways in which difference can be an asset to group work? And are there lessons relevant to leading across any form of difference, or does each form of difference require unique leadership approaches? These and other questions will be addressed by faculty members and leading practitioners from the University community and beyond. The overarching goal of these discussions will be to hone attendees’ analytical skills for diagnosing and responding to the subtle ways in which difference can influence group process.
