A new and exciting Seton Hall University Conference \u201cCivilizational Prospects: Engaging Wicked Problems\u201d will be held\u00a0Friday, November 17th, 9-4.30 p.m. in the Chancellor\u2019s Suite.\u00a0The\u00a0Civilizational Prospects Project<\/a>\u00a0is requesting proposal submissions through\u00a0September 20, 2023.<\/p>\n

Organizers plan to offer an array of exciting sessions that consider the greatest challenges to the future of our civilization from one or more of four intersecting perspectives: evolutionary science, global studies, theology, and future studies. The objective of the conference is to foster interdisciplinary conversations that can integrate these four intellectual streams and forge continuing academic partnerships within Seton Hall and across the wider academic community. Most importantly, the aim is to explore concrete solutions or tangible pathways to address acute civilizational challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective.<\/p>\n

Conference co-chair Anthony Haynor observes that \u201cin an age, they say, of so much information but too little wisdom, pondering our civilizational prospects could hardly be more important. We will be inviting scholars to our conference to reflect on where we are now, how we have gotten to this point, and how to meet the civilizational challenges that lie ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

University Libraries faculty member and fellow conference co-chair Lisa Rose-Wiles, Ph.D. also notes that: \u201cthis conference is a fabulous opportunity for scholars from different disciplines and perspectives to come together to engage some of the world\u2019s most difficult problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
