Seeing Creation Anew: Theology, Spirituality, and Justice for and with the Natural World
6:00-8:00, Campus Ministry, Benson Center
Featured Speaker: Paul J. Schutz, Assistant Professor, Religious Studies, SCU
Join us for some content-focused conversations! Refreshments will be served.
Paul Schutz received his B.A. in English, Music, and Film Studies from Boston College and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Fordham University in the Bronx, NY.

Code and Creation: Studies of Human Myths + Machine Morality + Computers
6:00pm, St. Clare Room, Library and Learning Commons
Join the Ignatian Center’s Bannan Forum for a lecture by Dr. Ahmed Amer, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and a 2019-2020 Bannan Faculty Fellow. This talk may include useful lies, deceptive truths, and programming language advice for Pharaohs. Amidst increasing awareness of technology's impact on our societies, there is a growing view that engineers need to be more conscious of the ethical implications of the technologies they create. This view is compelling and true, but also a total myth.
Join us for a somewhat satirical, slightly technical, and wholly optimistic conversation, where we discuss how this apparent contradiction can be entangled, with just a little effort to understand, with an easily overlooked aspect of computer systems. We will also see how such an effort can help build bridges across other gulfs, be they interfaith dialogues or the reconciliation of science and religion.

I will discuss the way nature struggles through to more life, the significance of the Christ event as the symbol of new life and the rise of AI-posthuman life as the next level of human personhood drawn toward a future fullness in God.”

7:00pm, Dinner Board Room, GTU Library
Russell Family Fellowship in Religion and Science Forum

Brown Bag Lunch with Matthew Hartman
12:00-1:00, Doug Adams Gallery
Our March talk will be given by 2019 Spring CARe Grant recipient Matthew Hartman (PhD, GTU), who traveled to Cork, Ireland in June 2019 to give a paper at the Conference of the International Society for the Study of Religion, Nature, and Culture.
His paper, "The Historical Relations of Our Ecological Crisis: Theology, Colonialism, and Capitalism’s Logics", draws on art, literature, and film to challenge the concept of the Anthropocene and its increasingly dominant cultural narrative in describing the current era of climate change. Bolstered by climactic spectacles in art and visual media, the Anthropocene assumes a universalized human subject separated from nature and rooted in European industrialization—a narrative that champions technical responses, ignoring religion and the complex worlding relations between humans and their environments. Hartman will explore the alternative concept of Capitalocene, which highlights the intertwining nexus of theology, capitalism, and colonialism to engender new religious thinking and creative artistic renderings.

What if We are Not Alone? Considering the Significance of Non-intelligent Alien Life for Constructive Christian Theology
1:00pm, Dinner Board Room, GTU Library
Annual Russell Family Research Fellowship Conference in Religion and Science
Adam Pryor, Assistant Professor of Religion, Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas
Respondents: Braden Molhoek, Hyung-Joo Lee, Jamie Fowler and Ted Peters
Building on his forthcoming work Living with Tiny Aliens, Dr. Pryor will consider how astrobiological research can influence three concepts widely used within the Christian theological tradition: the image of God, sin, and vocation. He will consider the significance and challenges of understanding these doctrines in light of an astrobiological and ecological sense of 'planetarity.' Finally, he will consider how reframing these theological concepts at a planetary scale has consequences for imagining the ethical actions of individual religious persons. Registration required.

Storytelling and the Making of Jewish Culture
9:00am-7:00pm, Dinner Board Room, GTU Library

Rosie Lee Tompkins (1936–2006) is widely considered one of the most brilliant and inventive quiltmakers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Her reputation has grown to the point where her work is no longer considered solely within the context of quilting, but celebrated among the great American artistic achievements of our time. Rosie Lee Tompkins: A Retrospective is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work to date, featuring approximately seventy quilts, pieced tops, embroideries, assemblages, and decorated objects. It reveals Tompkins to be an artist of extraordinary variety, depth, and impact.

Weaponizing Narratives: Why America Wants Gun Control But Doesn't Have It
4:10pm, Chevron Auditorium, International House, 2299 Piedmont, UC Berkeley
If having a gun really made you safer, then America would be one of the safest countries in the world. It’s not. Yet while Americans consistently favor more gun control, gun laws have generally become more lax. That is partly due to the material resources of the gun lobby. But it is also about the central role of the gun, what it represents in the American narrative, and the inability of gun control advocates to develop a counter-narrative. Gary Younge, until recently the editor-at-large of The Guardian, and now Professor of Sociology at Manchester University, will present as part of UC Berkeley’s commemorative events spotlighting African American history after the passage of the 400 Years of African American History Commission Act.

Considering Matthew Shepard, Cantata by Craig Hella Johnson, performed by Cantare Con Vivo
7:30pm; Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley, 1 Lawson Road, Kensington
Matthew Shepard, the Wyoming teenager who became a national figure after he was beaten and left for dead for being gay in 1998, has inspired plays, documentaries and books. He is the subject of this newly written 95-minute extended work that explores his life, death and legacy. Composer Craig Hella Johnson, Director of Austin choir Conspirare and former Director of San Francisco’s own Chanticleer, features lyrics taken from Shepard’s writing as well as dark passages about the group that picketed his funeral. “The piece actually became a whole lot more than just the story of the suffering,” Johnson said. “It needed to become this larger invitation to return to love. And to return to remember who we are as human beings, in the deepest sense of our essence." Tickets are $10 for students; $35 general admission. There will also be performances at Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church on February 29 and at First Presbyterian Church of Oakland on March 1.

4:10pm, International House Auditorium, 2299 Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley
John Holdren, professor at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard, will lecture. This lecture draws heavily on Dr. Holdren’s career-long engagement with environmental policy and science policy, culminating in his roles in the White House under Presidents Clinton (as a member of his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) and Obama (as the longest-serving Science Advisor to the President since the inception of the position). He explains why presidents need science advice; what the President’s Science Advisor, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology do and how they relate to other actors inside and outside government; and the challenges, opportunities, successes, and failures that have characterized efforts in these domains under Presidents Clinton through Trump.

Rapid Climate Change is Transforming the Arctic: Why Everybody Should Care
4:10, International House Auditorium, 2299 Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley
John Holdren, professor at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard, will focus on the Arctic and its warming two to four times faster than the global average, transforming landscapes, the Arctic Ocean, and Arctic ecosystems. One of the biggest impacts may be those that affect us all: melting Arctic land ice contributing to global sea-level rise and greenhouse-gas emissions from thawing permafrost accelerating temperature increases worldwide.

Flannery: The Storied Life of the Writer from Georgia; film screening and panel discussion
6:00-9:00pm, G56 Classroom, Harney Science Center, USF, San Francisco
Winner of the first-ever Library of Congress / Lavine Family / Ken Burns Prize for Film, Flannery is the lyrical, intimate exploration of the life and work of author Flannery O’Connor, whose distinctive Southern Gothic style influenced a generation of artists and activists. With her family home at Andalusia (the Georgia farm where she grew up and later wrote her best known work) as a backdrop, a picture of the woman behind her sharply aware, starkly redemptive style comes into focus. Including conversations with those who knew her and those inspired by her (Alice Walker, Tommy Lee Jones, Mary Karr, Conan O’Brien and more), Flannery employs never-before-seen archival footage, newly discovered personal letters and her own published words (read by Mary Steenburgen) alongside original animations and music to elevate the life and legacy of an American literary icon. Learn more about the film at: https://www.flanneryfilm.com/
Panelists include Mark Bosco, SJ and Elizabeth Coffman (co-directors of the film) along with Richard Rodriguez, author featured in the documentary. Kimberly Connor will moderate.

Call for Papers
The March 2020 issue of Asian Horizons (of the Dharmaram Journal of Theology) invites articles on "Synodal Church." Though synodality is not a new concept in itself, Pope Francis’ vision of synodality has given it new levels of meaning and new vitality for the life and mission of the Church.

Please send your articles (4500-5000 words, including the footnotes) by March 20, 2020. Kindly include the abstract of the article in 150-200 words, 5-7 keywords and a summary of the CV of the author in 100-150 words.

Asian Horizons is a forum for theological reflection in the Asian context marked by economic poverty, cultural diversity and religious plurality.
