The Humanities Center’s Annual Symposium in September 2018 introduced us to a range of perspectives pertaining to the theme of vulnerability. This follow-up event focused primarily on what vulnerability means relative to our teaching practices, especially regarding the interplay of faith and intellect. Our guest, Bo Karen Lee (of Princeton Theological Seminary), gave a brief lecture titled “The Compassionate Christ in the Classroom,” followed by a roundtable discussion featuring Professor Lee, members of our faculty, students, and audience members who wished to join the discussion by asking questions or offering perspectives. The event was held on Thursday, November 15.
The following day, Friday, November 16, Professor Lee gave a follow-up lecture on the relationship between vulnerability and spirituality, centered on the German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
