Call for Proposals:
Samford University's "Teaching the Christian Intellectual Tradition: Augustine Across the Curriculum"
|
|
 From October 2 - 4, 2014 in Birmingham, AL, Samford University will host its inaugural conference on "Teaching the Christian Intellectual Tradition." Supported by funding from the Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and the Arts, this biennial conference is designed to provide an opportunity for scholars from across the disciplines to share ideas about teaching Christianity's rich intellectual heritage to today's under-graduates. The 2014 conference will focus on Augustine and will feature plenary speakers Peter Kaufman (University of Richmond) and Kristen Deede Johnson (Western Theological Seminary).
Specialists and non-specialists are invited to submit proposals; however, proposals should be designed with the non-specialist in mind and should directly address how to incorporate Augustine in the classroom. Proposals that demonstrate the interdisciplinary connections in Augustine's work are strongly encouraged. The deadline for proposals is May 16, 2014. For more information on how to apply, please click here.
