We welcome everyone to join us for our annual New Directions speaker program with the Tufts Humanist Chaplaincy.

Dinner: 6:00 p.m.

Dr. Pinn\u00a0is currently the Agnes Cullen Arnold Professor of Humanities and professor of religion at Rice University.\u00a0 Pinn is the founding director of the Center for Engaged Research and Collaborative Learning also at Rice University.\u00a0 In addition, he is Director of Research for the Institute for Humanist Studies \u2013 a Washington, DC-based think tank. Pinn\u2019s research interests include humanism and hip hop culture. He is the author\/editor of over 35 books, including\u00a0When Colorblindness Isn\u2019t the Answer: Humanism and the Challenge of Race\u00a0<\/i>(2017).<\/p>\n

The program will engage with changes both in the American religious landscape and in religious theory, as Dr. Pinn argues that movements like Black Lives Matter complicate how we understand spiritual and ethical engagement in the public sphere. In his own words, he argues that we find “a more expansive framework and a more\u00a0humanistic orientation” to understand the new world.<\/p>\n

We hope that you can join us for this exciting dinner and conversation.\u00a0Please RSVP\u00a0using our Google Form<\/a>\u00a0for the event, and feel free to check our\u00a0Facebook event page<\/a>\u00a0for details and updates on the program.\u00a0<\/strong>Feel free to write with any questions to walker.bristol@tufts.edu.<\/p>\n
