Our College Conversations series returns this fall with a "Spotlight on Diversity." We will feature presentations about diversity initiatives in a variety of disciplines in the College of Arts and Sciences.

The series kicks off Thursday, August 26 with "Religion, Race, and Ethnicity,” which will highlight the new concentration in our Department of Religious Studies.

Religion, race, and ethnicity continue to play a significant role on the national and international stage. Join us for a discussion of the intersection of these topics today - in and outside our classrooms.

Speakers

• Larry Perry, assistant professor of religious studies
• David Kline, lecturer of religious studies
• Helene Sinnreich, associate professor and director of The Fern and Manfred Steinfeld Program in Judaic Studies

Angie Batey, associate dean of diversity and inclusion, College of Arts and Sciences, will moderate the discussion.

The series continues the fourth Thursday of the month from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
