Students will be exposed to a wide range of texts and equipped to teach them effectively in the classroom. \nLewis Ayres\, Angelicum University/Durham University \nPaul Blowers\, Milligan University \nFr.

SUMMARY:Glimpses of Wonder: Epiphanies of Beauty in the Midst of Technological Change
DESCRIPTION:Apply here\nGlimpses of Wonder: Epiphanies of Beauty in the Midst of Technological Change \nCosponsored by the Society of Catholic Scientists. \nEugene Wigner\, a winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1963\, was not only a celebrated scientist but also defended the “unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics” in aesthetic terms. The beauty of the natural realm and the capacity of mathematical reason not only to measure the world but to see beyond its own finitude and look for a whole in the midst of parts is both mysterious and ubiquitous. In times of technological change\, those parts move at an accelerated pace. True human flourishing is not necessarily about slowing down or accelerating the advance of progress as finding a new measure that allows one to see epiphanies of beauty and learn from them about oneself\, the world\, and the creator of the beauty of the world.\nThe point of this seminar will be to compare ancient visions of the wonder and beauty of creation\, above all in the Augustinian and Franciscan intellectual tradition\, with the challenges of technological revolutions\, medieval and modern. The idea of the mechanical arts predates Newtonian mechanism and is already a theme in 13th century Paris\, as can be found in distinct realms of technological advancement ranging from the motion of mechanical clocks to the engineering of the Gothic cathedral. The point is not to vindicate ancients\, moderns\, or contemporaries but to create a fruitful dialogue between ancient grammars of wonder and the intellectual\, moral\, spiritual\, and everyday challenges that arise in the midst of rapid and accelerating technological change. \nIn order to give a foretaste for the summer seminar\, Lumen Christi will offer a virtual masterclass on related themes\, to be held on January 23\, 2026 for graduate students from any university or discipline. The program is entitled “Glimpses of Wonder: Faith\, Reason\, and Technology in the University Today” and will be led by the seminar organizers\, Peter Casarella and Sr. Damien Marie Savino. Click here for more information and registration. \nInstructor: Sr. Damien Marie Savino\, FSE\, Ph.D.\, University of Notre Dame\,\nauthor of Learning the Language of Creation: Catholic Social Teaching and Integral Ecology\, forthcoming in the spring of 2026 with Liturgical Press. \nOther presenters from Duke: \nPeter Casarella\,\nauthor of The Song of Creation: Saint Bonaventure’s Franciscan Pilgrimage into God\, forthcoming\, Word on Fire Academic.\nMatthew Whelan\, author of Christianity and Agroecology\, Cambridge UP\, 2025.\nNorman Wirzba\, author of Love’s Braided Dance\, Yale UP\, 2024.\nReinhard Huetter\, Duke Divinity School and International Theological Commission\nKevin Hart\, author of Lands of Likeness: For a Poetics of Contemplation. Chicago\, 2023. \nLOCATION AND FORMAT: \nThe seminar will take place at Duke University in Durham\, NC. Admitted students will be required to arrange their own travel to and from the seminar. \nAdmitted students will be granted a stipend of $350 to offset travel costs in addition to having their lodging and meals covered for the duration of the seminar. \nParticipants will arrive in Durham\, NC on Sunday\, June 14 and depart on Saturday\, June 20.  The seminar will take place from Monday to Friday\, with a lecture and discussion session each morning and afternoon. \nParticipants will be required to read the assigned materials in preparation for the seminar. \nIn order to receive the $350 stipend\, students must participate fully in all seminar activities and complete a survey at the end of the seminar. \nOpen to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in STEM fields\, medicine\, the history of science\, philosophy\, theology\, and relevant fields. \nApplicants must submit an online application\, including details on their course of study\, a statement of interest\, and a letter of recommendation. \n15 applicants will be admitted to the seminar. \nThis project is made possible through the generous support of our donors. \nThe Application Deadline is February 2\, 2026. \nContact us with any questions at seminars@lumenchristi.org.
