URSA Faculty/Student Lunches

This year we will have several URSA faculty/student lunches in the Religious Studies library (SY 224). These are free and open to anyone who signs up. It is a great way to spend some time with your peers and a Religious Studies faculty member (or guest speaker) to engage in thought provoking discussion about an article, a particular subject, or theme. Our faculty guests this spring include Professor Kathryn Lofton who will discuss her research on Oprah Winfrey. Please email April for more information about these luncheons.

2006-07 URSA Field Trips to Religious and Cultural Venues

URSA will continue to visit several different religious and cultural venues in Bloomington and beyond this year.

Past events have included a variety of cultural field trips including the Michaela Farm in Oldenburg, Indiana, a Utopian community in New Harmony, the Tibetan Cultural Center in Bloomington, the Islamic Center, and a Quaker Meeting House. Last October a bus filled with URSA members traveled to Louisville, Kentucky to attend the tri-state Durga Puja Indian Fall Festival.

2006-07 URSA Movie Nights

Movie Nights are scheduled monthly throughout the academic year. Your movie suggestions are always welcomed. This is a great way to view a thought provoking film with your peers and discuss it with a faculty member over pizza and drinks. All are welcome!
