I see that the Center was unable to find female ethicists, theologians or scholars of religion of any race, ethnicity or nationality who may have insight or observations to offer, or questions to raise vis a vis religion and globalization. I find that an unfortunate state of affairs for the Center as it seeks to prepare *all* young people for servant leadership that will take us to the middle of the twenty-first century. What is the model shown and the message that is sent by this slate of speakers? The leadership of the Center may need to employ some imagination beyond 'the usual suspects' in order to ignite moral imaginations of others.
Perhaps the saying about men at the U. of Chicago (and, perhaps, Harvard, as well) giving birth everyday is more than a rumor: they really do reproduce themselves... .
The Center's lecture series in religion and globalization will last the full academic year and can only be judged from that perspective. Speakers we are currently in conversation with include religion scholars Diana Eck and Karen Armstrong. Already confirmed is Islamist scholar Chandra Muzzafar.
The Center has a good track record of bringing diverse speakers to campus. Last fall we brought cartoonist Aaron McGruder and Native American activist John Trudeau. In the spring our keynote speaker was journalist Judith Miller (who, sadly, had to cancel). We closed the year with a panel on living wage issues in Atlanta that featured two women to one man. (Mayor Shirley Franklin was invited but had to cancel at the last minute.)
The Center for Ethics takes pride in the diversity of its speakers and will continue to offer public events that "look like Emory."
