"Follow the Women: Freeing Dialogue" is the title of the GTU's 2018 Distinguished Faculty Lecture. This year's featured speaker will be Dr. Marianne Farina, CSC, professor of philosophy and theology at Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology. Her lecture will focus on how women’s voices challenge and reinterpret our understanding of interreligious dialogue. The perspectives that emerge have far-reaching implications for the theology and practice of dialogue. A response will be offered by Dr. Rita Sherma, director of the Center for Dharma Studies.
Panel and discussion featuring Leslie Bowling-Dyer (GTU doctoral student in Historical and Cultural Studies of Religion), Dr. Sharon Fennema (assistant professor of worship at PSR), Dr. Valerie Miles Tribble (associate professor of ministerial leadership and practical theology at ABSW), Jennifer Owens-Jofré (GTU doctoral candidate in Interdisciplinary Studies), and Dr. Rita Sherma (director of the GTU Center for Dharma Studies).

The GTU, in collaboration with the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study of UC Berkeley, is pleased to announce a three-day long workshop on environmental change and ritualized relationships with the other-than-human world. Jointly funded by REDO, a University of Oslo research network sponsored by the Norwegian Research Council, and co-hosted by UC Berkeley, the workshop explores some of the new ontologies that have been developed in the social sciences over the past two decades, which are revising and revisiting animism, materialism, and religion in new and original ways.
