2016 Summer Research Seminar
The 2016 Summer Research Seminar was held at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, from July 18th through 22nd. More than twenty people gathered to discuss projects and develop insights for future work, following a process of discernment grounded in Quaker Meeting for Worship. Mornings were reserved for presentations and afternoons for study and reflection by individuals and small groups.
Each morning, we gathered for a ‘Meeting for Worship on the Occasion for Research.’ Topics and presenters included:
Leonard Joy – Epiphany
Paula Palmer – Indian Boarding Schools and Friends
Sara Wolcott – Doctrine of Discovery and Spirituality
John Lodenkamper, Judith Streit, Pete Baston and Paul Alexander – Life-Centered Economy
Rich Andrews – Nuclear Waste and Risks
Larry and DJ Jordan – Artificial Intelligence and Evolutionary Biology
Each evening, informal discussions led to further insights and reflection.
