Upcoming Alumni & Community Engagement Events
October 4 - Religious Studies Ideas Lecture Series
Lived Conspirituality: Researching Conspiracy Theories and Alternative Spiritualities
Conspirituality—that is, the connection between conspiracy theories and “alternative” spiritualities—has recently gained popularity in academic and non-academic circles. Often associated with populist and irrational beliefs, it has been linked to right-wing politics, faulty thinking, and disruptive and potentially violent behavior. Speaker: Dr. Giovanna Parmigiani, Harvard Divinity School, Research Associate, Transcendence and Transformation Centre for the Study of World Religions.
October 4 from 2:30 - 4 p.m.

October 26 - Shockingly Scientific: Mary Shelley, Frankenstein and the New Science
Just in time for spooky season, this lecture will explore the real-life scientific discoveries that fueled the writing of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Dr. Alexis McQuigge will talk about the history of electrical experiments, early resuscitation methods, and why Shelley might have known so much about them in the first place.
She will also invite you to answer the complex question that the text leaves hanging in the air like an electrical charge in a good lightning storm: if the monster is human, why are we so afraid of him?
October 26 from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m.
College Avenue Campus | Room CB112
