SUMMARY:Philosophical Fridays: Changing Our Mind-Making Sense of the Christian Fight over LGBT Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Many Mississippians today have had scant exposure to genuine philosophical inquiry and debate and know little about philosophy’s long\, distinguished history. Even those who may have taken a philosophy course in college likely studies only selected topics and have a limited sense of the wide range of issues philosophers discuss. As a result\, many people think of philosophy merely as an abstract intellectual pursuit with little relevance to everyday affairs of their lives. \nIn response\, the Department of Philosophy and Religion at USM is continuing its popluar “Philosophical Fridays” speakers series in the fall of 2016 and spring of 2017. The series features respected philosophers giving presentations on a variety of issues. Their talks will be non-technical and readily accessible\, of students\, faculty\, and community members. These events will take place at 2:00p.m. on Fridays in the Liberal Arts Building on the Hattiesburg Campus. The topics will range from a discussion about linguistic violence\, ethics in a pluralistic world\, and free will\, to moral psychology. \nMarch 20\, 2017 \nDavid Gushee\, Mercer University \nTitle: “Changing Our Mind: Making Sense of the Christian Fight over LGBT Inclusion” \nUSM\, Gonzales Auditorium 2:00-3:30pm \nNo Cost \nSponsored by USM & MS Humanities Council \nFor more information:\nDr. Samuel Bruton-601-266-4518

SUMMARY:The 4th Annual Winning the Race Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Winning the Race Conference was developed with three overarching goals: engage in conversations with campus and community constituencies that will build an appreciation for diversity differences and a spirit of community through shared ideas; promote a broad discourse on race relations by building conversations to bring together diverse communities in the Delta through sharing of ideas and building cooperation; and to rekindle a hope that Delta communities will move toward greater equality and forward and open thinking while reducing racial disparities and tensions. \nDelta State University’s award-winning race relations conference\, Winning the Race\, will feature two highlight speakers at this year’s event which will be hosted on campus March 28-29. Keynote speakers for the 2017 conference will be announced soon. \n  \nThis year’s conference is titled “Winning the Race: Advancing Education in the Mississippi Delta.” The inaugural program spearheaded by Delta State President William N. LaForge in 2014\, was designed as an innovative academic conference. The 2017 schedule promises to build on the meaningful dialogue presented at previous conferences. \nDelta State University \nNo Cost \nSponsored by Delta State University & Mississippi Humanities Council \nFor more information:\nDr. Temika Simmons\, (662) 846-4365

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: Mississippi in the Work of Sherwood Bonner
DESCRIPTION:Holly Springs native Katherine Sherwood Bonner McDowell (1849-1883) left her Mississippi Home in 1873 to pursue a literary career in the Northeast. She became “Sherwood Bonner\,” a writer whose witty stories shed light on the dynamics of region\, race\, and gender in both the reconstruction South and post-Civil War America. Bonner enjoyed brief notoriety during her own time\, but the recent republication of her work has drawn serious critical attention to it and the picture it offers of the writer’s relationship to her time and place. \nKathryn B. McKee is McMullan Associate Professor of Southern Studies and Associate Professor of English at the University of Mississippi. \nColumbus-Lowndes Public Library- 12:00p.m. \nNo Cost \nSponsored by Columbus-Lowndes Public Library & MS Humanities Council \nFor more information:\nMona Vance-Ali 662-329-5304
