| Obert C. and Grace A. Tanner Humanities Center at the
University of Utah in Salt Lake City will present an international, cross-disciplinary
conference on forgiveness, April 13 through 14, 2000. Forgiveness has far-reaching
implications for the work of lessening ancient ethnic, racial, national, and religious
divisions that have plagued humankind for thousands of years. The purpose of this
conference is to better understand the concept of forgiveness across history, languages,
cultures and religions, and to help develop ways in which forgiveness can be used to further peace: both among ourselves in our everyday conflicts at the local and national level, and at the global level. Keynote speakers, renown scholars in this area, will concentrate on global issues and implications of forgiveness in historical and contemporary contexts. Speakers include Professor Jean Bethke Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. Scholars' panel sessions will be more specific and will be organized from topically wide-ranging research from fields that may include: literature; philosophy; history; linguistics and the study of languages; cultural, ethnic and gender studies; religion; ethics; jurisprudence; archaeology; art history; and historical or interpretive aspects of the social and natural sciences and the professions (law, medicine, media/communications, and so forth). We intend to publish the panel proceedings, therefore work submitted should not be previously copyrighted or under contract, or the author must be capable of granting permission for the purpose of publication of a conference volume. We regret that at this time we have no conference travel funds
available to supplement panellists' travel. There is no registration nor admission fee for
presenters or the public. Questions? hcampbel@mail.hum.utah.edu |
