Institute for Law and the Humanities

ILH Home Page
Fall 2005

ILH Speaker April 7th

The Institute for Law and the Humanities will be hosting its last event of the year on April 7th at 2:00 pm in the Courtroom. In keeping with our theme for this year, Law, Fundamentalism, and Democracy, our last speaker will be Bruce Lincoln from the Divinity School at the University of Chicago. The title of his talk is "From Ancient Persia to Abu Ghraib: Comparative Observations on Empire, Religion, and Torture."

Bruce Lincoln is the Caroline E. Haskell Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago. His most recent publication is Holy Terrors: Thinking about Religion after September 11. His work on the relationship between religion, politics and culture is masterful and compelling. I hope to see many of you there.
