An Invitation to Honor Roger Lundin
Featured guests:
Dr. Jeremy Begbie
Duke University Initiatives in Theology and the Arts
Dr. Charles Taylor
Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, McGill University
It was a huge loss to the department last November 2015 when Roger Lundin died unexpectedly the same week as Brett Foster. Last fall we honored Dr. Foster with the inauguration of a Reading Series that featured Scott Cairns. This spring we want to honor Dr. Lundin with several events on Monday, March 13, 2017.
Here is an outline of those events:
- 4:00pm
Dedication of the English Department Seminar Room in honor of Dr. Lundin with an open house/reception to follow in the English Department. Ceremony begins in Blanchard 339. - 6:30pm
A presentation in Barrows Auditorium by Dr. Jeremy Begbie, a close friend of Dr. Lundin’s, on “What’s Transcendent about the Arts? A Musician Re-Thinks a Contemporary Theme” (Aesthetics Lecture sponsored by the English Department). Dr. Lundin had spent a semester working with Jeremy Begbie at the Duke Divinity School. Jeremy also played a special piece for Roger at his funeral. - 7:30pm
Formal Reception in Barrows Auditorium Lobby - Billy Graham Center - 8:15pm
Lecture in Barrows Auditorium by Dr. Charles Taylor on “The Strange Uses of Political Religion” (The McMannis Lecture sponsored by the Philosophy Department).
