In Quadratos, Dr. Shaia reveals an undiscovered truth that’s been dormant for over one thousand years. In the tradition of such writers as Thomas Moore and Don Miguel Ruiz, Shaia reveals how the recurring cycles of change, loss, enlightenment, and maturation are illuminated by the Bible’s four gospels. Combining ancient Christian traditions, anthropology, and modern psychology, he reveals what has been in front of our eyes for two thousand years: that each of the gospels is centered on a different core metaphor and each focuses on a vital spiritual question.

Topic : What Race Is and What it is Not

There are no biological races in humans, but race is a prominent social reality, especially in the U.S. Humans vary in many ways, but not always in the ways we think. This lecture reveals the myths and the realities about human diversity, and why this information is very important to all of us.

There will be a small wine & cheese reception following the lecture in Fleck Hall
