Professor of Process Studies
Inaugural Lecture:
“Theopoetic Justice: Towards an Ecology of Living Together”
Thursday, April 22, 2010
4:30 – 6 p.m. in Mudd Theater
Roland Faber has been named the inaugural Kilsby Family/John B. Cobb Professor of Process Studies. The new chair – believed to be the first of this kind devoted to process studies – is made possible by nearly $1 million in gifts and pledges from Claremont alumna Mary Ellen Kilsby and her family, in honor of her professor and friend John Cobb.
Dr. Faber will be inaugurated as the Kilsby/Cobb Professor on Thursday, April 22, at 4:30 p.m. in Mudd Theater. The title of his lecture is “Theopoetic Justice: Towards an Ecology of Living Together.” A 2-day conference entitled “Theopoetics and the Divine Manifold: Toward Process theologies of Multiplicity” will follow.
Roland Faber came to Claremont in 2005 as Professor of Process Theology. He is a Co-director of the Center for Process Studies and Director of the Whitehead Research Project. He also is author and co-editor of six books, including God as Poet of the World: Exploring Process Theologies.
