The Seton Hall University chapter Delta of New Jersey was founded in 2006 as a student-led initiative. Consisting of nine founding members, Anthropology students who were also pursuing majors in allied fields such as Sociology, Environmental Studies, Diplomacy, Political Science, and Social Work. These founding members’ efforts continue to enrich the program and reflect the profoundly interdisciplinary draw of four-field Anthropology as a solid foundation in the liberal arts tradition. This year’s inductees similarly reflect our students’ broad vision of a well-rounded education and represent Anthropology majors, minors and those pursuing their primary or secondary majors/minors in Criminal Justice, Biochemistry and Archaeology.

Since its founding, the Seton Hall Chapter of Lambda Alpha has held a joint biannual induction ceremony with the Sociology Honor Society, Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD).

Prof. Karl Gaspar, a Redemptorist brother and decades-long advocate for Mindanao’s Indigenous Peoples rights and interreligious dialogue will speak at Seton Hall University on March 25, 2020 at 2 pm EST, AS 109 South Orange Campus.  

From the perspective of Mindanao’s indigenous people, Dr. Gaspar will be examining the role of Philippine Catholicism, one that spans Spanish rule, the Philippine Revolution in 1896, the subsequent period of American colonial rule and Protestant missionary work in the first half of the 20^th century. He will reflect on how these have shaped current theological, pastoral and anthropological concerns for the Church vis a vis Mindanao’s indigenous peoples, a consideration that takes into account Vatican II, the work of Base Ecclesial Communities (BECs) and the call to action arising from Pope Francis’ Laudato Si.

Prof. Gaspar teaches at the Ateneo de Davao University and at St. Alphonsius Theological and Mission Institute (SATMI).

This program was made possible by the New York Southeast Asian Network (NYSEAN,) and Seton Hall University programs in Anthropology, Diplomacy and Religion. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Anthropology Program (973) 761-9170.
