Making Change Executive Education at HDS Making Change June 10–13, 2019 Making Change June 10–13, 2019 Curriculum Making Change invites you into a conversation with other changemakers that reaches into the past to interpret and respond to the present, considers the role of religion in our changing world, and explores the dynamic relations between personal and societal transformation. Together with Harvard Divinity School faculty and other experienced facilitators, you will spend the week thinking and talking together about what it might mean to make change in ourselves, in our communities and in the world. Conceptually, the course is divided into four modules. Throughout the program, you will also engage in “Meaning Making” small group sessions with experienced leaders who will help process information, bring it down to a personal level, and incorporate it into your ongoing efforts to make a positive difference in the world. 1 Detailed Schedule Monday, June 10 Religion in a Changing WoRld TIME DETAILS LOCATION 8–9 am Check-in & Breakfast Rock Lobby (Rockefeller Hall, 47 Francis Avenue) 9–9:30 am Welcome Rock Café Faculty: Stephanie paulSell (Rockefeller Hall) 9:30–11 am Religion and a Changing World Rock Café Faculty: Dean DaviD n hempton The Pew Research Center has published projected data on global trends in religion up to the year 2050. Allowing for the fact that such projections are inevitably provisional and are based on extrapolations from current trends, the data are nevertheless indicative of trends we should be paying attention to. What are those trends and what effect will they have on major regions of the world, including North America, Europe, Sub-Sharan Africa, China, and Asia? This session will address those questions and discuss their implications for global stability. materialS: • The Pew/Templeton Global Religious Futures report 11–11:15 am Break Rock Lounge (Rockefeller Hall) 11:15 am–12:15 pm Meaning Making & Introductions Rock Café meliSSa Bartholomew, Julia ogilvy, laura tuach 12:15–1:15 pm Lunch/Class Photo Rock Lounge 1:15–2:45 pm An Introduction to Religious Literacy Rock Café Faculty: Diane l. moore This session will establish a common vocabulary for discussions about how religions function in human experience.

This event and its tumultuous and religious aftermath known as the Conquest of Mexico brought together the genes and cultures of two kinds of life to make “things new and different from anything else in the world.” We will analyze three historical threads arising from Mexico’s creation that directly influence our contemporary arguments about borders, terrorism, immigration and religion: the history of race mixture in the Caribe and Mexico; the Great Debate about religious conversion, social justice and just war that took place in Valladolid, Spain in 1550-51; and the rise of Mexico City as the cultural and mercantile crossroads between the Silk Road and Europe in the 16-18th centuries.

Is religion a proxy for other more deep-seated structural problems associated with identity, colonialism, and access to power and resources, or is religion itself (however defined) an agent of conflict? This session will address those questions, first in general terms, then in relation to one particular conflict, the so-called “Troubles” in Northern Ireland from 1968 to 1998. Finally, we will look at strategies of peacebuilding and assess their strengths and weaknesses over time. materialS: • David N.

  • Faust Afternoon Speech
    1 Drew Gilpin Faust As delivered Commencement Speech Tercentenary Theatre, May 30, 2013 Harvard University, Cambridge, MA It is always a pleasure to greet a sea of alumni on commencement afternoon—even though my role is that of the warm-up act for the feature to come. Today I am especially aware of the treat we have in store as I look out on not a sea, but a veritable ocean of anticipation. But it is my customary assignment and privilege to offer each spring a report to the alumni on the year that is ending. And this was a year that for a number of reasons demands special note. “The world is too much with us ”—the lines of Wordsworth’s well- known poem echoed in my mind as I thought about my remarks today, for the world has intruded on us this year in ways we never would have imagined. The university had not officially closed for a day since 1978. This year it closed three times. Twice it was for cases of extreme weather—first for superstorm Sandy and then for Nemo, the record- breaking February blizzard. The third was of course the day of Boston’s lockdown in aftermath of the tragic Marathon bombings. This was a 2 year that challenged fundamental assumptions about life’s security, stability and predictability. Yet as I reflected on these intrusions from a world so very much with us, I was struck by how we at Harvard are so actively engaged in shaping that world and indeed addressing so many of the most important and trying questions these recent events have posed.

  • 1 After Slavery & Reconstruction: the Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliogr
    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.
