CANCELLED - Award-Winning Teachers on Teaching, Professor Robert Gregg, "Working Rich Data"
Award-Winning Teachers on Teaching Series. Professor Robert Gregg, Teresa Hihn Moore Professor, Department of Religious Studies, “Working Rich Data”, will discuss what he does to engage students in texts that operate from assumptions much different from our own, helping students to probe layer after layer (in evidence, in assumptions, in teachers' and students' modes of curiosity, etc.). Gregg specializes in the history of Christianity to the year 600 and concentrates research and teaching in two areas: (1) interactions between Jews, "pagans" and Christians in late Roman cities and regions: contested politics, theologies, and sacred writings, "settlement patterns," and (2) developments internal to the Christian movement in its early centuries: disputes over orthodoxy and heresy, formation of the canon of Christian scriptures, creeds, emergence of ritual and of church institutions, appropriations of Greek and Roman philosophy, etc. His most recent book is Jews, Pagans, and Christians in the Golan Heights (with co-author Dan Urman).
