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.
