SUMMARY:Does Evil Defeat God? Making Sense of Evil
DESCRIPTION:Does Evil Defeat God? Making Sense of Evil\nSeptember 25th\, 2025 | 5:30pm *UPDATED TIME*\nPhysical Sciences 120 or via Zoom \nDessert reception to follow \nregister here \nIt is impossible to deny: horrendous evil exists in our world. Children are killed while praying at Mass. Humans are trafficked and sold into slavery. Entire people groups face starvation and death as casualties of war and genocide. Where is God as all this takes place? Why doesn’t God protect these precious creatures made in his image? Why isn’t God more active in battling the evil that exists in the world? \nIs God willing to act\, but not able? Then isn’t he weak? Is God able but not willing? Then isn’t he evil himself? Is God both able and willing? Then why is there any evil at all? What if the right question is not “why does a good God let these things happen?” but rather “which philosophy provides the best resources for responding to evil?” The presence of evil in this world is a problem for atheists as much as theists– but what if the very fact that Christians name what is seen as “evil” shows that Christianity takes evil more seriously than other philosophies? What if the very idea of evil does not ultimately call God’s existence into question\, but serves as an argument for God’s existence? \nJoin us as we consider these questions and welcome award-winning author Paul Copan\, the Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University. He has authored more than 50 books\, including the popular Is God a Moral Monster? and its companion volume\, the award-winning Is God a Vindictive Bully? Drawing from years of experience researching\, teaching\, writing\, and speaking\, Professor Copan will tackle this most difficult problem for Christian theology and attempt to show that God’s existence makes better sense of the problem of evil than atheism does. \nPaul Copan; Ph.D.\, Philosophy\, Marquette University\n\nPaul Copan (Ph.D.\, Philosophy\, Marquette University) is the Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University\, West Palm Beach\, Florida. He teaches in the M.A. in Philosophy of Religion at PBA\, which also offers an undergraduate degree in Christian Apologetics. For six years\, he served as president of the Evangelical Philosophical Society. \nHe is author or editor of 45 books\, and his books have been translated into over a dozen languages. He has also contributed essays to over 70 books\, both scholarly and popular\, and he has written many articles published in professional journals. He has done work in the philosophy of religion\, ethics\, human dignity and rights\, Old Testament ethical challenges\, Christian apologetics\, the impact of the Christian faith in history\, and various theological topics as well. His books include The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Religion\, Philosophy of Religion: Classic and Contemporary Issues\, A Little Book for New Philosophers\, Christianity Contested: Replies to Critics’ Toughest Questions\, An Introduction to Biblical Ethics\, Is God a Moral Monster? and Is God a Vindictive Bully? \nPaul is currently chair of the Tyndale Fellowship Philosophy of Religion Study Group (UK). In 2017\, he was a Visiting Scholar at Oxford University and once again at Oxford (Oriel College) in 2024. Paul and his wife\, Jacqueline\, have six children\, and they reside in West Palm Beach\, Florida. His website is www.paulcopan.com. He is also part of the team that contributes to the online Worldview Bulletin—a site that explores issues related to the Christian worldview\, apologetics\, philosophy\, science\, and culture (https://worldviewbulletin.substack.com/). \nregister here

SUMMARY:Why Luxury is a Vice
DESCRIPTION:COLLIS Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture presents: \nWhy Luxury is a Vice\n(and not necessarily good for the economy either)\nSeptember 17th\, 2025 | 6:00pm\n398 Statler Hall or Via Zoom\nDinner to follow \nregister here \nFor most of Western history\, luxury was seen as a vice. Socrates and Seneca condemned it; the Hebrew prophets and the early Christian Fathers thundered against it. How did it transform into an advertising attribute? Can there be any definition of “luxury” in a modern society with so many conveniences? And isn’t the pursuit of luxury ultimately beneficial for the economy? Learn why we need to rediscover the problems with luxury. \nModerated by Dr. Vivek Mathew \nDavid Cloutier (B.A.\, Carleton; Ph.D. Duke)\n\nDavid Cloutier (B.A.\, Carleton; Ph.D. Duke) is Professor of Moral Theology at the University of Notre Dame and academic director of the Business Ethics and Society Program at Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business. He is the author of a number of books\, including the award-winning The Vice of Luxury: Economic Excess in a Consumer Age (Georgetown UP) and Walking God’s Earth: The Environment and Catholic Theology (Liturgical Press). He has written for Commonweal\, America\, and writes a quarterly column on Catholic social ethics and everyday life for US Catholic. His current writing project aims at articulating more fully a Catholic social imaginary for contemporary society\, beyond partisan divisions. He is married to Melissa Moschella\, a philosopher in the McGrath Institute. He runs\, sings in church choirs\, follows baseball\, and served for 8 years as Board President of the Common Market\, a large consumer food co-operative in Frederick\, MD. \nCo-Sponsored by Chesterton House

SUMMARY:Religion in a Changing Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Religion in a Changing Workplace\nSeptember 5th\, 2025 | 7:30pm\nPhysical Sciences 120 or via Zoom\nAppetizer reception to follow \nregister here \nEmployees are increasingly embracing the notion of “bringing their whole selves to work\,” and many employers are encouraging them. Those whole selves often include religious identities\, however\, and that can make things complicated. Employers can be uncertain about how to respond to workers’ religious identities and afraid that such expression will lead to conflict. Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund and her collaborators Denise Daniels and Christopher P. Scheitle have conducted more than 15\,000 surveys and 300 in-depth interviews on the subject of faith at work in the US. Hear from Rice University Professor and Cornell PhD alumna Elaine Howard Ecklund on how workers in many different fields experience the intersection of their religious identities and their work. Based on her book Religion in a Changing Workplace (Oxford University Press\, 2024)\, Dr. Ecklund’s lecture will help leaders of all beliefs understand how to negotiate increasingly pluralistic workplaces for the good of all. \nDr. Elaine Howard Ecklund; Herbert S. Autrey Chair in Social Sciences\, Professor of Sociology; Director\, Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance\n\nElaine Howard Ecklund is a sociologist\, author\, and leader who explores how individuals and groups bring their deepest values—especially religious and ethical commitments—into their work\, leadership\, and public lives. She holds a Herbert S. Autrey Chair in Social Sciences at Rice University\, where she is a Professor of Sociology and directs the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance. \nElaine has published nine books\, over 150 academic articles\, and led nearly twenty national and international research projects on religion\, science\, institutional culture\, and workplace religious diversity. Her work is widely recognized for revealing how pluralism—when understood and supported—can be an asset rather than a liability in professional life. \nKnown for building interdisciplinary teams and convening global gatherings\, Elaine brings clarity to topics often burdened by division rather than dialogue. \nHer current work focuses on religious diversity in the workplace\, mentoring as a model of institutional leadership\, and how faith and science intersect in public life. \nHer latest books include Religion in a Changing Workplace (OUP\, 2024) and Working for Better (IVP\, 2025) as well as Varieties of Atheism in Science (OUP\, 2021) and Why Science and Faith Need Each Other (Brazos\, 2020). \nShe received a Ph.D. from Cornell University\, where she was the recipient of the Graduate Student Baccalaureate Award for Academic Excellence and Community Service. In 2018\, she gave the Gifford Lecture at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and in 2023 received the Rice University Presidential Mentoring Award. Ecklund is interested in university leadership and in new approaches to mentoring. She is privileged to have worked with multiple postdoctoral fellows\, graduate students\, and undergraduate students in research\, and she is interested in supporting institutional growth\, both at Rice University and in academic organizations more broadly. To that end she served nine years as Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Sociology at Rice\, founded the Religion and Public Life Program at Rice in 2010 and served as director for 12 years\, was president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR)\, president of the Religious Research Association (RRA)\, and has served on various university evaluation and research committees.

And what about the suffering of animals\, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it?  \nThe greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle these knotty issues. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight\, C.S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungering for a true understanding of human nature.” \nJoin us for refreshments at 115 The Knoll for a time of reading and discussion together! \nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:John Swinton: Chesterton Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \n“Please Don’t Fix Me. Welcome Me.”: A Christian Reflection on People with Disabilities\nA conversation with John Swinton\, Professor in Practical Theology and Pastoral Care\, Chair in Divinity and Religious Studies at the University of Aberdeen \nMay 1\, 2025\n3 pm EST in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\nOr join us via Zoom \nRegister Here \nLet’s be honest: most of us have not spent time formulating a theology of human disability\, especially for people with permanent intellectual limitations like schizophrenia\, dementia\, or Down syndrome. Laden with the modern idea of “equality\,” we awkwardly strive to make everyone the same\, measuring others’ experiences of life against our own—and unintentionally defining what it means to be human by our own standards. But what if that’s not only unfair\, but also wrong and harmful? \nMaybe people with disabilities need less energy spent on making them like us\, and more effort to welcome them as already fully human brothers and sisters created by God. Maybe it is their differences in our midst that help us understand our own humanity—reminding us that no one is an autonomous owner of their own life or master of their own fate\, but rather a beneficiary of God’s gratuitous gift of life\, to be given back to Him in gratitude. Reminding us that being human isn’t about subjective or performative metrics\, but rather something far deeper. Perhaps there are some (maybe many?) inequalities in this world that aren’t just unavoidable but are actually essential to understanding our humanity and what it means for all of us to become the Body of Christ. \nJoin us in welcoming John Swinton\, Professor of Practical Theology and Pastoral Care\, and Chair of Divinity and Religious Studies at the University of Aberdeen. Drawing from his journey from working as a Registered Mental Health Nurse to studying the theology of disability\, Rev. Professor Swinton will share his practical and theological insights to help us reflect together on a Christian theology of disability. \nJohn Swinton; Chair in Divinity and Religious Studies\, Professor in Practical Theology and Pastoral Care; School of Divinity\, History and Philosophy; King’s College University of Aberdeen\nJohn Swinton is Professor in Practical Theology and Pastoral Care and Chair in Divinity and Religious Studies at the University of Aberdeen. For more than a decade John worked as a registered mental health nurse. He also worked for a number of years as a hospital and community mental health Chaplain alongside of people with severe mental health challenges who were moving from the hospital into the community. In 2004\, he founded the University of Aberdeen’s Centre for Spirituality\, Health and Disability. He has published widely within the area of mental health\, dementia\, disability theology\, spirituality and healthcare\, end of life care\, qualitative research and pastoral care. John is the author of a number of monographs including Finding Jesus in the Storm: The spiritual lives of people with mental health challenges. (Eerdmans 2020) which won the Aldersgate prize for outstanding interdisciplinary work within theology. His book Dementia: Living in the memories of God won the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Ramsey Prize for excellence in theological writing. John is married with 5 children. John is also a musician.

SUMMARY:Moral Outrage: Who Are We To Say?
DESCRIPTION:Veritas Forum brings you: \nMoral Outrage\nWho Are We to Say?\nA conversation on where morals come from\, why they differ\, and what to do about it. \nApril 16th\, 2025\n7:00pm to 8:30pm ET\nKlarman Hall KG70\nor remotely via Zoom \nReception with Purity Ice Cream to follow! \nRegister Here\nTwo of the most common moral responses on campus are outrage and apathy. Why do we have these reactions to different sets of things? Can we trust our moral instincts? Audun Dahl\, a moral psychologist and David Lahti\, a Christian evolutionary biologist\, discuss what we can learn from their fields and how we might go about living with some of this knowledge. \nDavid Lahti; Associate Professor of Biology and Psychology\, CUNY\nDavid Lahti is an Associate Professor of Biology at Queens College\, City University of New York (CUNY)\, and is also affiliated with the doctoral faculty in Psychology and Biology at the CUNY Graduate Center. He leads the Behavior & Evolution Laboratory\, which focuses on learned behaviors in birds and humans\, cultural evolution\, rapid trait evolution\, and the development of morality and religion. \nLahti holds two PhDs: one in moral philosophy and philosophy of biology from the Whitefield Institute\, Oxford\, where he explored the contributions of science to understanding morality\, and another in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of Michigan\, where he studied rapid evolution in African weaverbirds. His postdoctoral work included research on bird song development and human psychology from an evolutionary perspective. \nIn addition to his academic work\, Lahti integrates his scientific research with his Christian faith\, discussing topics such as cultural evolution and the interplay between science and religion. His lab consists of a diverse team working on projects ranging from ornithology to urban ecology. \nAudun Dahl; Professor of Psychology\, Cornell\nI am interested in development of morality across the lifespan. Every day\, from infancy to old age\, we encounter morally relevant events. We help or hurt another person\, or we witness others who help or hurt\, in both mundane and life-changing ways. As we develop\, and enter new social situations\, we encounter new rules for right and wrong behaviors. Religious texts spell out how to pray. Schools teach their students about how to use sources without plagiarizing. The abundance of moral and other principles prompts children and adults to determine\, again and again\, what makes for right and wrong ways of acting. \nThe Developmental Moral Psychology Lab studies how we reason\, judge\, feel\, and act around issues of right and wrong across the lifespan. We also study how morality develops through everyday social interactions\, starting in early childhood. We use a variety of methods—including laboratory experiments\, naturalistic observations\, structured interviews\, and surveys—to study infants\, children\, adolescents\, and adults from different communities. For instance\, we study how infants begin to help and harm others\, and how adults form judgments and decisions about complex issues\, such as academic integrity and moral dilemmas. Through this range of methods and age groups\, we seek to understand both the diversity and the unity of human morality. \nToni Alimi; (moderator) Assistant Professor of Classics\, Cornell \nMy research and teaching span ancient Roman philosophy (specializing in Lactantius and Augustine)\, intellectual history (focusing on freedom\, slavery\, law\, rule\, and authority)\, contemporary ethics and politics (idem)\, and philosophy of religion. My first book\, Slaves of God\, explicates Augustine’s reasons for justifying slavery and argues that slavery is a central theme in his broader ethics and politics. \nI’m in the early stages of research for a broader philosophical history of slavery (tentatively titled Slavery: A Philosophical History)\, which will trace the development of ideas of natural and retributive slavery from their ancient Greek and Roman provenances through late antiquity\, medieval and early modern Christianity\, into the antebellum United States. \nAs a Klarman Fellow (2021-2024)\, I am a postdoctoral associate in Classics with an affiliate appointment in Philosophy. Before Cornell\, I earned the Ph.D. in Religion\, Ethics\, and Politics from Princeton University\, the M.A.R. in Ethics from Yale Divinity School\, and the A.B. in Religion from Princeton University. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Can We Talk About it? Why Faith Remains the Hardest Conversation on Campus
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by Chesterton House and COLLIS Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture\nCan We Talk About It? Why Faith Remains the Hardest Conversation on Campus\nApril 10\, 2025\n5:30 pm EST Physical Sciences 120 or via Zoom \nRegister Here \nThe university is meant to be a place where every idea can be discussed\, debated\, and tested. But does it always live up to that ideal? When it comes to faith\, many students and faculty feel pressured to self-censor\, avoiding ideas that might ruffle too many feathers. Yet\, faith and religion have a profound impact throughout politics\, science\, mental health\, and beyond. Is this self-censorship leaving crucial issues underdiscussed? \nAuthor Mary Eberstadt ‘83\, Senior Research Fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute in Washington DC\, understands these challenges first-hand. A Cornell graduate\, she will share with us her journey to becoming a Christian public intellectual\, why faith remains such a difficult topic on many campuses that claim to champion open dialogue\, and how to navigate these challenges in both truthful and winsome ways. Join us for a conversation about how to bring faith conversations back into academic and public discourse and why doing so matters. \n  \nMary Eberstadt ’83; Panula Chair in Christian Culture\, Catholic Information Center\nMary Eberstadt is an American writer\, and author of several influential books including How the West Really Lost God; Adam and Eve after the Pill; and Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics. She also authored a novel called The Loser Letters: A Comic Tale of Life\, Death\, and Atheism\, which debuted as a stage-play in 2017. She has written for many journals and magazines\, and her work has been translated into numerous languages. \nMrs. Eberstadt is a senior research fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute\, and she holds the Panula Chair at the Catholic Information center in Washington\, DC. Her early career includes two years as a speechwriter to an American Secretary of State\, George Shultz\, and another year as speechwriter to a U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations\, Jeane Kirkpatrick. She holds honorary doctorates in humane letters from Seton Hall University in New Jersey and from Magdalen College\, New Hampshire. \nMary Eberstadt is delighted to be appearing this week at her alma mater. She grew up in Central New York\, and she enjoys several personal ties to Cornell\, where she graduated magna cum laude with a double major in Philosophy and Government. Her senior paper\, on Immanuel Kant’s theory of aesthetic judgment\, was supervised in part by a mentor who was one of the titans of\nCornell’s philosophy faculty\, the late Norman Kretzmann. Mary resided throughout her undergraduate years in Telluride House\, and she worked for four years as a special assistant in the Philosophy Department. \nFinally\, Mary is also embarking in 2025 on a new\, five-year\, multidimensional project\, “Remembering Upstate New York\,” dedicated to bringing the region’s extraordinary history and culture to new literary and theatrical life. Updates about the project\, its team\, and her other work can be found on her website\, maryeberstadt.com

SUMMARY:From Mines to Vines: Cultivating Peace through Agriculture & Faith
DESCRIPTION:From Mines to Vines: Cultivating Peace through Agriculture & Faith\nA Laureate Lecture by Ms. Heidi Kühn\, Founder & CEO of Roots of Peace\, World Food Prize Laureate\, and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee\n+ Panel Discussion with:\nDr. Christopher Barrett\, Professor of Applied Economics and Management\, Cornell University\nNodjibeye Cherubin\, Civil Engineer and Humphrey Fellow from Chad\nFrancine Barchett\, (moderator) Cornell PhD Candidate and Youth Member\, World Food Prize Foundation Council of Advisors \nApril 8\, 2025\n7:30 PM EST\nReception & hours d’ourves to follow\nPhysical Sciences 120 or via Zoom\nRegister Here \nAcross nearly 70 countries\, landmines and unexploded ordnances sow fear and uncertainty\, and many remain long after conflicts end. In 1997\, guided by her Catholic faith and care for human dignity\, Heidi Kühn founded Roots of Peace to help turn “mines to vines” — replacing remnants of war with regenerative agriculture. Since then\, her organization has removed over 100\,000 landmines and restored farming livelihoods in ten countries\, from Croatia to Afghanistan\, Vietnam\, and beyond. \nIn this special Laureate Lecture at Cornell University\, Ms. Kühn will explore the intersection of agriculture\, peacebuilding\, and spiritual conviction. She will be joined by a panel of experts who will reflect on how the Christian faith can inspire practical solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges in collaboration with scholars and practitioners from many different religions. \nWhether you are religious\, spiritual\, or secular\, all are welcome to engage in this conversation about belonging\, purpose\, and the shared human calling to care for one another and the Earth. \nPanelists: \n\nDr. Christopher Barrett\, Professor of Applied Economics and Management\, Cornell University\nNodjibeye Cherubin\, Civil Engineer and Humphrey Fellow from Chad\nFrancine Barchett\, Cornell PhD Candidate and Youth Member\, World Food Prize Foundation Council of Advisors (Moderator)\n\nCo-sponsored by World Food Prize Foundation • Cornell Department of Global Development • Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability • Office of Meaning Making & Spirituality • Cornell Faith & Environment Collective • Chesterton House • Cornell COLLIS Institute of Catholic Thought & Culture • American Scientific Affiliation \nHeidi Kühn; Founder & CEO of Roots of Peace\, World Food Prize Laureate\, and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee\nHeidi Kühn is a visionary leader whose life’s work has been dedicated to cultivating peace in places once ravaged by conflict. A graduate of the University of California\, Berkeley\, in 1979 with a degree in Political Economics\, Heidi emerged from the era of the Peace Movement with a determination to transform its ideals into tangible action. \nHer early career in journalism saw her founding NewsLink International\, a news agency reporting on glasnost and perestroika from the Soviet Union. From Alaska’s frozen frontiers to the heart of Cold War tensions\, Heidi’s stories for CNN\, ABC\, CBS\, NBC\, Nippon TV\, and Sky News helped bridge divides\, fostering understanding where walls once stood. \nIn 1997\, following her own battle with cancer\, Heidi took on another silent killer—landmines. She founded Roots of Peace\, a humanitarian organization dedicated to replacing fields of destruction with fields of life. Through the “Mines to Vines” initiative\, Heidi has transformed war-torn landscapes into thriving vineyards and orchards. For Heidi\, landmines were a “cancer of the earth\,” and her mission was clear: restore hope\, food security\, and livelihoods to millions. \nRoots of Peace has made an extraordinary impact: over 100\,000 landmines and unexploded bombs removed\, more than 7 million fruit trees planted\, and agricultural livelihoods restored to over 1 million farmers and families across ten countries\, including Afghanistan\, Angola\, Bosnia-Herzegovina\, Cambodia\, Croatia\, Iraq\, Israel\, Palestine\, and Vietnam. \nNotably\, Heidi’s leadership in Afghanistan contributed to a transformative USAID program\, which increased the country’s agricultural exports from $250 million in 2014 to over $1.5 billion in 2024. \nBorn into a pioneer family that settled 2\,500 acres in San Rafael\, California\, in the 1860s\, Heidi’s reverence for the land runs deep. A proud Daughter of the American Revolution\, she continues this legacy of stewardship\, passing it on to her four children and seven grandchildren. \nHeidi’s memoir\, Breaking Ground (2020)\, chronicles her extraordinary journey\, serving as both an inspiring narrative and a call to action for global peace. Today\, Heidi lives in San Rafael with her husband\, Gary. She serves as Chairperson for the Smithsonian’s 250th Anniversary of America (2026)\, continuing her mission to bridge divides and plant the seeds of a more peaceful future. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:My Load is Easy: An Invitation to Cease Striving\, Building\, and Bettering
DESCRIPTION:Chesterton Perspectives brings you: \nMy Load is Easy: An Invitation to Cease Striving\, Building\, and Bettering\nA conversation with Ephraim Radner; Professor Emeritus of Historical Theology \nMarch 10\, 2025\n7:30 pm EST in person at 111 The Knoll Rd\n7:45 pm EST via Zoom \nRegister Here \nOur generation pressures itself to meet abstract and unattainable standards of equality\, self-actualization\, and social improvement. We feel pulled toward one of two extremes: striving endlessly to create a perfect world and a perfect life\, or retreating into distraction or numbness when our efforts fail. We long for all things to be made new\, yet we struggle to tolerate ambiguity and wait patiently for God’s return. Instead of living with hope and eager expectation\, we carry a self-imposed and ever-increasing weight of anxiety and despair. \nEphraim Radner\, Emeritus Professor of Historical Theology at Wycliffe College\, University of Toronto\, offers a different way. Through the gifting of his Spirit\, God invites us to fully engage this present life—embracing both its moments of glorious astonishment and its seasons of suffering—while learning to rest in Christ’s easy yoke until His return. \nWhat if Jesus truly meant it when He said\, My load is easy? And what if it’s still true for us today? Join us for this powerful conversation about living lightly in a heavy world. \nEphraim Radner; Professor Emeritus of Historical Theology at Wycliffe College\, University of Toronto; PhD in Theology (Yale University)BA (Dartmouth College)\, MDiv (Yale Divinity School)\nPrior to his appointment as Professor of Historical Theology\, the Rev. Dr. Radner was rector of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension\, Pueblo\, Colorado. His range of ministerial experience includes Burundi\, where he worked as a missionary\, Haiti\, inner-city Cleveland\, and Connecticut. He has taught at seminaries in Connecticut and Colorado. In the Anglican Communion context he is a member of the Covenant Design Group. He is a violinist\, hiker\, and traveler. He is married to the Rev. Annette Brownlee and they are the parents of Hannah and Isaac. Radner’s research and teaching interests include pneumatology\, ecclesiology and ecumenism\, and biblical hermeneutics. Radner is currently co-editing a volume on Anglican figural reading of the Scriptures\, and working on a larger project involving Christian politics. \nEcclesiology: Ecclesial decision-making\, politics and ecumenism\, Scriptural hermeneutics and the theological categories of “time” and “history”\, The character of early modern Christian self-identity\, Pneumatology\, Contemporary Christian social experience\, Theological Interpretation of Scripture.

SUMMARY:When Computers “Create”
DESCRIPTION:When Computers “Create”: AI-Generated Art\, Authorship\, and the Imago Dei\n\nA conversation with Ruth L. Okediji\, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School \n\nFebruary 24th\, 2025\n5:30 pm EST\nPhysical Sciences Building 120 or via Zoom\n+ Reception to follow \nRegister here to join via Zoom \nIf ChatGPT can write a book\, what are the implications for human authors and their works? If MidJourney can create an image\, where does that leave graphic designers and artists? These questions draw us into the deep and complex relationships between our human identity and our intelligence and creativity. After all\, we want to believe we have a special divine spark of creativity within us. But it can be increasingly difficult to hold that belief amidst the ever-advancing sophistication of AI modeling that seems “more perfect” than those born of the Imago Dei. \nHarvard Law Professor Ruth L. Okediji can help us attend to these questions. As a leading scholar in intellectual property law and appointed member of the American Bar Association President’s Taskforce on AI and the Law\, she is among a small and distinguished group of experts studying creativity\, artistry\, and ownership of ideas and creative products. Join us for an evening of discussion on what happens when computers can “create.” \nRuth L. Okediji; Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School\, Co-Director of Berkman Klein Center\n\nRuth L.

Professor Okediji teaches contracts\, intellectual property (IP)\, Law and Development\, AI in the Just Society\, and courses on Biblical Law. Her research and scholarship examine innovation policy\, the digital economy\, and global knowledge governance. She has authored an extensive array of influential articles\, commissioned papers\, and book chapters on the relationship between intellectual property\, innovation\, and human wellbeing. \nProfessor Okediji was a member of the U.S. National Academies Board on Science\, Technology and Policy Committee on the Impact of Copyright Policy on Innovation in the Digital Era\, and in 2021 she completed service as Co-Chair of the National Academies Board on Science\, Technology\, and Economic Policy Committee on Advancing Commercialization from the Federal Laboratories. She advises governments and international organizations on a variety of issues at the intersection of innovation policy\, AI\, and human development. \nOver the course of her career\, Professor Okediji has received numerous awards and distinctions for teaching\, advising\, and mentoring. These include “Professor Most Likely to Go Beyond the Call of Duty” and the Student Bar Association’s “Outstanding Professor Award.” She is a two- time recipient of the Harvard Law School Women’s Law Association “Shatter the Ceiling” Award. She has been named one of the 50 most influential figures in the field of intellectual property by Managing IP and she received the 2019 Public Knowledge IP3 Award. In 2023 she was awarded the Barry Prize for Distinguished Intellectual Achievement by the American Academy of Sciences and Letters. \nProfessor Okediji served as an expert to the Africa Group and lead negotiator for the 2013 Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind\, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled.

SUMMARY:Protecting Indigenous Peoples’ Innovation: New Actors and New Issues in International Intellectual Property
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Indigenous Peoples’ Innovation: New Actors and New Issues in International Intellectual Property\n\nA conversation with Ruth L. Okediji\, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School \n\nFebruary 24th\, 2025\n12:10 pm EST\nMyron Taylor Hall 182\n*Lunch will be provided; registration required \nIn- Person Student Registration \nNon-Student Registration (in person or via Zoom) \nRuth L. Okediji\, the Jeremiah Smith\, Jr.\, Professor of Law and Co-Director of Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center on Professor of Law at Harvard Law School\, recently served as the lead expert negotiator for a historic negotiation at the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization. The result of more than a decade of negotiations is a ground-breaking intellectual property treaty that recognizes the contributions of Indigenous People and Local Communities (IPLC’s) in the global innovation system. \nWhat ethical\, economic\, and cultural factors affect how we steward humanity’s capacity for creativity? The default utilitarian approach that underpins intellectual property law has historically excluded non-traditional forms and practices of innovation. These concerns operate in parallel with other complex tensions\, including indigenous rights\, biodiversity\, sovereignty over genetic resources\, ecological sustainability\, and climate change more broadly. \nOkediji draws personal inspiration from her Christian faith in tackling these challenges\, and her story illustrates how faith convictions – and the worldview it promotes – can shape and interact with policy and legal frameworks in advancing human flourishing. \nCo-Sponsored by Christian Legal Society at Cornell\, Cornell United Religious Works\, and Cornell’s Office of Spirituality and Meaning-Making. \nRuth L. Okediji; Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School\, Co-Director of Berkman Klein Center\nRuth L.
