SUMMARY:International Conference on Mahatma Gandhi
DESCRIPTION:This conference (January 30 to February 2\, 2020) aims to offer a scholarly\, critical\, and nuanced perspective on Gandhi. The conference follows the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi\, who is increasingly being studied as a philosopher\, religious thinker\, and critic of industrial modernity. It is\, for example\, little known that he pioneered a new form of what is these days called “interfaith” workship and diologe\, and througout his life he maintained extensive dialogues with Christian thinkers and missionaries\, Muslim theologians\, and activists of all stripes and hues. All events will be open to the public and the UCLA communityl. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAFFILIATED FACULTY: Vinay Lal\, Professor\, History; Carol Bakhos\, Professor\, Near Eastern Languages & Cultures\, Director\, Center for the Study of Religion \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:On the Ethics of Studying Hate Speech: The Case of Medieval Arabic Polemics
DESCRIPTION:“Hate speech” is as contested as it is distressingly common in contemporary public discourse. It poses dilemmas that extend beyond political and legal debates about how it should be regulated. For professional historians – particularly scholars of religion in its historical dimensions – it also raises questions of classification and academic ethics. Is “hate speech” an accurate and useful term to use in describing and analyzing discourses of the past\, especially the distant past? What ethical or social responsibilities do scholars have when dealing with such discourses? Answering these and related questions requires that we test both the limits of academic objectivity and the factors that lie behind scholars’ decisions to study particular subjects in the first place. This presentation will explore these fraught issues through the lens of the speaker’s work on medieval and early-modern Arabic religious polemics. These texts\, most of which were composed between the twelfth and the fourteenth century in Egypt and Syria\, but which had long afterlives\, drew on the Islamic scholarly heritage in order to marginalize and exclude non-Muslims from public life. The presentation will pose and wrestle with with the questions of whether and how they should be published\, studied\, and situated in present-day discussions. \n  \nLuke Yarbrough is Assistant Professor in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA. He earned a PhD in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University in 2012. Since then he has been a post-doctoral research fellow at both the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute\, and an Assistant Professor at Saint Louis University. He is the editor and translator of The Sword of Ambition: Bureaucratic Rivalry in Medieval Egypt (New York: NYU Press\, 2016) and the author of Friends of the Emir: Non-Muslim State Officials in Premodern Islamic Thought  (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press\, 2019). \n  \nEvent Flyer\n[gravityform id=”92″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n

SUMMARY:Conscripting Bodies\, Constructing Authority: The Museum of the Bible on the National Mall
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of the Bible on D.C.’s national mall was founded and funded by the billionaire owners of Hobby Lobby. From the start\, the museum has been controversial in the national press and in the field of biblical studies. Through a close examination of the museum’s exhibits and its collection of archaeological and historical objects\, biblical scholar Jill Hicks-Keeton will discuss whose Bible is represented\, whose bodies are conscripted into its narrative\, and why it matters. \n  \n\nJill Hicks-Keeton (Phd\, Duke University) is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Oklahoma. She is the author of Arguing with Aseneth (Oxford University Press\, 2018) and co-editor of The Museum of the Bible: A Critical Introduction (Lexington Books/ Fortress Academic\, 2019). \n  \n  \n  \nEvent Flyer\nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”94″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n

SUMMARY:Christianity\, Race\, Slavery: New Considerations for the Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:The idea that so-called races reflect inherent biological differences between social groups has been a prominent aspect of Western thought since at least the Enlightenment. While there have been moments of refuting this way of thinking\, fixed biological conceptions of race haunt new genetic technologies\, where race is thought to be measurable at the molecular level. Keel argues that the resilience of this naturalized understanding of race may stem less from overtly political motives on the part of scientists and more from our inherited theological traditions that predate the Enlightenment\, were in play during transatlantic slavery\, and continue to shape the intellectual horizon of scientific reasoning. \n\n  \n  \nTerence Keel is an associate professor with a split appointment in the Department of African American Studies\, and the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics. He is a critical race theorist\, historian of science\, and scholar of religion who has written widely about American biomedical science\, religion\, law\, and modern thought. Keel is an affiliate of the UCLA Bedari Kindness Institute as well as the Center for the Study of Racism\, Social Justice & Health at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. \n  \nEvent Flyer\nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”95″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n
