A four-week faculty development seminar for Chinese professors and postgraduate students will be held at Calvin College in the summer of 2008. The seminar will be directed by Del Ratzsch of Calvin College and Michael Murray of Franklin & Marshall College.
This seminar will consider historical and contemporary philosophical
conceptions of science, the role of philosophy and theology in the rise of modern science, and historical and contemporary approaches to science/religion relationships. Instruction will be in English. Please check range of topics that might be considered for one's research project.
Each participant will begin research on a related scholarly paper. We will pair Chinese and Western scholars to continue working on these papers. An election of these papers will be presented at a follow up conference in China to be held spring 2009.
The program will cover all travel and seminar expenses, and provide books and gifts for all participants.
Participants: Sixteen Chinese professors plus six Chinese graduate students with relevant interests. Interested professors should email an application by January 1, 2008.
