2013 C.S. LEWIS FELLOWS PROGRAM ON SCIENCE AND SOCIETY

JULY 12-20, 2013 SEATTLE, WA

Sponsored by the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery Institute

The C.S. Lewis Fellows Program on Science and Society will explore the growing impact of science on politics, economics, social policy, bioethics, theology, and the arts during  the past century. The program is named after celebrated British writer C.S. Lewis, a perceptive critic of both 'scientism' and technocracy in books such as The Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength. Topics to be addressed include the history of science, the relationship between faith and science, the rise of scientific materialism, the debate over Darwinian theory and intelligent design, evolutionary conceptions of ethics, science and economics, science and criminal justice, stem cell research and abortion, eugenics, family life and sexuality, ecology and animal rights, climate change, the impact of evolutionary theory on theology, the coverage of science controversies by the news media, legal and public policy conflicts over science education, and the relationship between science and the arts. Participants will benefit from classroom instruction and interaction with prominent researchers, writers, and scholars, such as Michael Behe, Stephen Meyer, Wesley J. Smith, David Klinghoffer, Jonathan Witt, Jonathan Wells, Jay Richards, and John West. The seminar is open to college/university students who intend careers in the social sciences, humanities, law, or theology.

Admission Requirements: You must be currently enrolled in a college/university, seminary, or law school as a junior, senior, or graduate student. Your field of study should be in the social sciences, humanities, theology, or law.

Connecting with ORGL Advisees

Hi Everyone,

I would like to reconnect with all of you, as I have in the past, through the platform of blogging. Some of you may know that I was on sabbatical last Fall working on research and presenting at international conference. Given this sabbatical, I have not posted on this blog since Spring 2012, but prior to that it was my mode of communication or most efficacious way to connect with all of you about university, department, curriculum news, advising, scholarship, conferences and so much more. Many of you that are visiting this blog for the first time will notice that a number of topics (e.g. progression plans, academic internships, study abroad opportunities, speakers jobs/careers, research, doctoral studies, have been covered in previous posts. Please visit the archives of this blog to catch up on some of that content. I will also look to learn from you about your interests and/or things that you would like to learn more about. Please respond to this blog post and many others by becoming an official "follower". My best to all of you on a productive Spring semester!
