Hear from Professor Jeongah Kim at the Spring Faculty Lecture on March 3
Jason Brumitt and the Faculty Scholarship and Achievement Committee invite you to join them for the Spring Faculty Lecture on Tuesday, March 3, at 6 p.m. in Hoover 105.
Jeongah Kim, PhD, professor of social work and winner of the 2024-25 Faculty Achievement Award for Graduate Research and Scholarship, is the featured faculty speaker. Her lecture is titled, “Beyond the Binary: Bridging the Science-Faith Divide through Philosophy.”
In our modern professions, we are often forced into a false choice: the objective data of science or the personal conviction of faith. This “Two Truths” split creates a fragmentation that limits our ability to understand the world and help others. Professor Kim will share how she uses the often “hidden” third tool, philosophy, to bridge and heal this divide in her teaching and research.
Please join us as she illustrates how a balanced epistemology can unite two different ways of knowing: science and religion. By reclaiming philosophy as God-given wisdom, Professor Kim bridges a gap, bringing real healing, justice, and transformation.
The university and surrounding community are invited, and refreshments will be provided (including pizza supplied by Dr. Kim’s Templeton Religion Trust grant). We hope you can support Jeongah by attending.
