Faculty and Chaplain to Join in Hamilton College Humanities Forum Panel

(Clinton – Dec. 3, 2009) Hamilton College Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Arts & Humanities Aaron Spevack, Associate Professor of Art History Steve Goldberg, and College Chaplain Jeff McArn will participate in a panel discussion, “Encountering the Cult of Progress: Abrahamic Traditions in the Secular Academy,” on Thursday, Dec. 3, at 4:10 p.m. in the Science Center’s classroom 3024 on the Hamilton campus. The panel, the fourth event in the Hamilton College Humanities Forum, is free and open to the public.

The Humanities Forum is a series of lectures, workshops, and presentations designed to explore the problem of secular humanism in the modern academy. The theme for 2009-11 is “The Secular Gaze: Humanistic Representations of the World.” The forum aims to open a discourse on the philosophical foundations of modern secularism and their effects on contemporary society. Organizers hope that these events will celebrate and highlight the humanities both at Hamilton and as an area of teaching, study and contemplation.
