Donald Trump and the End Times: How Dispensational Premillennialism Connects Christians with the Big Election Lie
Evolution, Adam, and the Catholic Church
In this lecture, Professor Kemp will discuss what modern science and Catholic theology can tell us about the question of Adam—his animal ancestry and the possibility of a single couple as the ancestors of the entire human race.Professor Kemp has been working on questions of evolution and theology for many years. His article “Science, Theology, and Monogenesis” (2011) is widely recognized as having made a major contribution to Catholic discussion of the possibility of there having been a single couple from whom the entire human race is descended. His archival research at the Vatican is adding to our understanding of Pope Pius XII’s important encyclical Humani generis (1950). He is also the author of the well-received The War that Never Was: Evolution & Christian Theology (2020) and is currently writing a book tentatively titled Accommodating Evolution: Science & Catholicism (1831–1950). He taught in the university’s Department of Philosophy from 1989 to 2019
Exploring the Personhood of African American Employees Within Organizations Implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives
This study explored the experiences of adult African American employees working within organizations implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Qualitative research (three 90-minute) focus groups were held for a total of 18 participants, ages ranging between 24 and 60-years-old. Participants worked in the healthcare, education, wealth management, telecommunications, banking, government, social services, corporate, and non-profit settings. Five participants represented frontline worker positions while others ranged from middle-management or supervisor to executive leadership roles. A phenomenological approach to data analysis was performed using both a priori and thematic coding, which produced eight major themes (i.e.,. Power, Safety, Adjustment, Compensation, Money, Empathy, Frustration, and Marginalization). Analysis revealed that Black employees experience not feeling safe, marginalization, lack of power, and engage in adjustment behavior that has consequences on their overall health despite organization DEI initiatives. The study discusses implications for African American employees and organizations as well as insights for future research
