What does following Christ mean for our academic life, whether we remain in the Academy or pursue professional careers beyond graduate school? How can Christian graduate students and junior scholars contribute to the flourishing of our institutions of higher education, in the midst of political, economic and cultural challenges? How can academics and postgraduate students serve and relate to the wider body of Christ, the Church? Considering these questions is a matter of Christian discipleship for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and academics.Join other Duke, UNC, and NC State graduate students, postdocs, and faculty as we explore integrating our faith with our academic life through this two-day conference. The event will include lectures and interview by academics including Jeff Baker (Pediatrics), Kathryn Mogk Wagner (Civic Life and Leadership), Jeremy Purvis (Genetics), Emily Wenger (Electrical and Computer Engineering), Ron Rittgers (Divinity School), and Kyle Jurado (Economics). There will also be plenty of time for discipline-based discussion.
