What is The Faculty Roundtable?
Since 2002, thousands of professors beginning with Harvard, MIT, Yale and Brown have engaged in The Faculty Roundtable dinner-discussions, experiencing the potential to bring added depth to their lives as scholars and educators. The Faculty Roundtable began in New York City in Spring of 2018 with presentations given by MIT's Ian Hutchinson and Brown's Ken Miller.
Roundtables are dedicated to fostering dialogue that explores the intersection of current academic thought with ethics, worldview, research and every shade of religious and nonreligious thought on issues related to science, philosophy and religion. Select community leaders are invited to ensure a diversity of viewpoints.
The event includes dinner, wine, dessert and discussion after brief remarks from our presenters. At the close of our evening, we include time for questions and comments directed to each other and to our presenters.
The Roundtables have historically been funded in large part by the John Templeton Foundation, a philanthropic catalyst for discoveries related to the big questions of human purpose and ultimate reality. Recently, however, Roundtables have been sponsored by generous donors and foundations invested in the intersection of science, philosophy, and faith.
