In anticipation of Emilie Townes’s Long Memorial lecture, Teaching Religion in Public presented “Solidarity in Everydayness,” a public conversation between PhD candidates Rev. Amber Lowe and Rev. Mihee Kim-Kort, and Randall M. Jelks, Religious Studies affiliate faculty member and Ruth N. Halls Professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies. The scholars discussion centered around Townes’s work and the practice of community.
Teaching Religion in Public (TRiP) is a project inspired by the public university classroom, where scholars and students of religion regularly participate in this vital civic experiment: to teach religion as an open question rather than a conclusive set of facts, in ways that are enhanced rather than impeded by our public and religious diversity.
This event was sponsored by the Center for Religion & the Human supported by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation
