Marty Center Events | Science and Religion: From Conflict to Celebration (Marilynne Robinson)

This conference is built around the prolific work of Peter Harrison, who served as the Sara H. Schaffner Visiting Professor in the Divinity School in spring 2023. Harrison’s work focuses on questions of science and religion, including his best known title The Territories of Science and Religion (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2015). Avoiding too much territorialism, the conference aims to discuss the different configurations in which science and religion find themselves: are they enemies, competitors, friends, or foes? Most centrally, it engages the notions of conflict and celebration to imagine new ways of mapping out their territories or rather, to quote a more recent title by Harrison, to map out the new terrain called “After Science and Religion.” A moderated discussion between Harrison and novelist Marilynne Robinson with room for audience participation concludes this exciting one-day event.
