Christian Scholars’ Conference 2010 Beauty in the Academy: Faith, Scholarship and the Arts
June 3-5, 2010
Lipscomb University, Nashville, Tennessee
I've really got to get back to work!
Since the semester's been over, I've been doing two things: landscaping (pictures coming soon) and reading for pleasure. But now, it's time to get back to work, at least for a little while. I'm presenting in two different panels at this year's Christian Scholars' Conference:
Paper and Panel Session I:
Mark A. Elrod, Harding University, Convener: “Social Networking and Christian Education”
- Jeff Baker, Thomas Goode Jones School of Law School: Panelist
- Edward Carson, Houston Christian High School: Panelist
- Stephanie Eddleman, Harding University: Panelist
- Michael Lasley, Pepperdine University: Panelist
- Jim Miller, Harding University: Panelist
Paper and Panel Session III
Larry Long, Harding University, Convener: “Beauty, Goodness and Value in the Anglo-American Literary Tradition”
- Leland Ryken, Wheaton College: “Valuing What God Values: The Persistence of Beauty in Christian Aesthetics”
- Stephanie Eddleman, Harding University: “Physical Beauty in Jane Austen: The Intersection of Aesthetics and Faith”
- John Williams, Harding University: “’The Light by Which You See’: John Updike’s Antinomian Aesthetics”
Most of the work's already done (it's nice to get a little extra mileage out of that dissertation), but I've got some revising and editing to do. I'm really looking forward to this conference. It's one of the few that I go to that is cross disciplinary, and that certainly makes it more interesting. It's also a Christian conference that's not afraid to ask the hard questions. I find that refreshing.
