What does it mean to have a religious conviction in our global secular age? Why is it necessary that when we enter public life, even if motivated by deeply held religious convictions, our public interventions ought to be informed by intellectual humility?
You are invited to attend a keynote lecture by Dr. José Casanova, entitled “Religious Conviction and Intellectual Humility in Public Life: Socio-Theological Reflections,” which will address these questions and more. Dr. Casanova is Professor of Sociology, Theology and Senior Fellow at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University.
Dr. Casanova’s talk will take place from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 21, at the UConn Humanities Institute. A reception will follow. Please register here!
This talk is part of a larger two-day conference taking place on April 21-22. The conference, “Religious Conviction and Intellectual Humility in Public Life,” is organized under the auspices of the Humility and Conviction in Public Life Project at the UConn Humanities Institute. Registration is free and open to the public. If you are interested in attending all or part of the conference, please register here!
