BIMUN/SINUB Lecture Series

27/04/2022

Dear all,

Today's lecture is entitled "Enemy, Stranger, Neighbor, Friend: Youth, Peace, Religion and the Semantics of Otherness" and will feature Dr. Matthew Robinson who is a Research Associate of Intercultural Theology at University of Bonn.

Dr. Robinson is a Chicago native, and he has traveled broadly and also lived in Israel and now Germany. These intercultural experiences have instilled in him a deep appreciation for the richness and complexity of human diversity as well as of the importance of friendship and community. He is currently working on several projects looking at the significance of religious communication in digital space for social resilience.

Hope to see you all there!
