Our own Sarah Hamersma is on the panel Wednesday!

Perspectives from Academic Disciplines – UF faculty address the question of how their discipline conceives of justice and what challenges they face in the pursuit of justice.  Participants include:

Sarah Hamersma, Economics 
Elizabeth Dale, Law
Jaime Ahlberg, Philosophy

Moderated by Joseph Spillane, Criminology and History

Wednesday, September 19
7:30 p.m. in the Christian Study Center classroom

The Christian Study Center will spend the next three semesters exploring the idea of justice and the Christian tradition in pursuit of a common understanding of justice that leads, in turn, to the collaborative pursuit of justice across religious lines and in ways that span the university and the church. This semester this inquiry will begin with two local panels, one from the standpoint of academic disciplines and a second from the perspective of Abrahamic religions, and it will culminate in a visit from Dr. Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology, Emeritus, Yale University.
