Lindsay Rettler wins Summer Seminar Award

L. Rettler

Lindsay Rettler has been awarded a Summer Seminar Award in the Templeton Project on the Nature and Value of Faith. 

From the website: "Winners of research awards will participate in a collaborative research group consisting of the winners of the twelve awards, two post-doctoral research fellows working with this project on the Nature and Value of Faith, and will be led by Jonathan L. Kvanvig, Daniel Howard-Snyder, and Trent Dougherty. The research group will spend a month of intensive research at a seminar in Columbia, MO, July 6-July 31, 2015. The seminar will address questions concerning the value and evaluation of faith and will involve week-long visits by Lara Buchak (Berkeley), John Schellenberg (Mount Saint Vincent), and Allan Hazlett (Edinburgh). Participants will have the opportunity to spend a month of intensive seminar work on the topic they propose with the aim of producing a substantial publication in the range of 8–12,000 words. The following academic year, a major conference will be held in connection with the seminar to which seminar participants are invited. The conference following the summer 2015 seminar will be held in San Antonio, TX, January 14-17, 2016 at La Mansion del Rio, a magnificent historic hotel on the Riverwalk. Summer seminar participants will receive a research award of $4,000 plus expenses paid for participating in a collaborative research seminar. All seminar participants will be able to spend the month in Columbia, MO, at one of several available downtown facilities, within walking distance from a large variety of restaurants, coffee shops, and other places of interest, as well as within walking distance of the University of Missouri campus and its Student Unions, where seminar sessions will be held.
