Becoming People of the Third Way

August 29, 2024 by Bob Trube Leave a Comment

This article first appeared in Campus Calling, InterVarsity's Faculty Ministry monthly newsletter and is reposted here by permission. This represents my parting thoughts and hopes as outgoing ESN Director for Christian presence in academia. I suspect I’m not alone in feeling left out of many of the discussions going on in our various public squares—political or academic. Often, it seems only two options are on offer, neither of which I can fully embrace. And it feels like the embrace of the one is to join a “side” … [Read more...] about Becoming People of the Third Way

Passing the Baton at the Emerging Scholars Network

August 26, 2024 by Bob Trube Leave a Comment

It has been a profound privilege to lead the Emerging Scholars Network over the past five years, and in particular, through the COVID pandemic. We launched ESN Conversations which now has over sixty recorded conversations on our YouTube channel. We addressed issues of racism, anti-Asian hate and published the first article on Critical Race Theory within InterVarsity. And we began an online post-doc group, with the help of Washington University post-doc/now faculty member, Ben Wormleighton. I was very pleased to work … [Read more...] about Passing the Baton at the Emerging Scholars Network

July 8, 2024 by Bob Trube Leave a Comment

Last month I invited you to share your dreams for your work in the academy. This month I am going to share mine. After all, turnabout is fair play. What I write reflects 48 years of working as a campus minister with InterVarsity. I grew up in a family that valued both the love of God and the love of learning and saw them as seamlessly related.

I am thrilled to announce our summer of 2024 ESN Conversations. Dru Johnson will lead off in a special evening interview with ESN science writer Andrew Walsh on What Hath Darwin to Do with Scripture. The following week Jemar Tisby and Douglas M. Strong join in conversation about a diary found in a college closet and the insights into racial justice they uncovered, a story told in Awakening to Justice. Timothy Larsen joins us in July to talk about his annotating work on George MacDonald's Diary of an Old Soul. We wrap up … [Read more...] about Summer 2024 ESN Conversations

The Faculty Roundtable at Ohio State: Finding Hope Amid Suffering

April 15, 2024 by Bob Trube Leave a Comment

Imagine faculty on your university gathering across disciplinary and religious lines to discuss important questions common to the human experience. On March 22, over a hundred faculty and other guests gathered to do just that over dinner at the Ohio State University's Faculty Club, preceded by a reception. University Provost Karla Zadnik opened the evening with a warm welcome expressing interest in the topic of suffering and learning from one another how we engage this common human experience. Our main speaker for … [Read more...] about The Faculty Roundtable at Ohio State: Finding Hope Amid Suffering
