A Goddard Library Book Talk

Please join us for a book talk by Davis Baird, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, as he shares his latest book, Natural Religion, a None’s Journey of Religious Discovery (Wipf and Stock, 2025).

Light refreshments will be available.

About the Book

‘This book began with a trunk of manuscripts written by my grandfather, Earl Clement Davis (1876-1953) who was a Unitarian minister from 1905-1953. Born a year after he died, I never knew him.

Growing up without any religion, I was surprised to discover in these century-old writings a compelling approach to religion, one that resonates with the struggles we face today.

My grandfather denied any supernatural aspects of religion. He was an enthusiastic advocate for science. He vigorously argued against all authoritarian forms of governance—religious and civil.

He believed in human divinity—the “living God”—the power of humans to pursue the ideals of truth, beauty and goodness to make the world better, a heaven on earth, what I call “Natural Religion.”’

About the Author

Davis Baird is Professor Emeritus and retired provost of Clark University. He is the author of Thing Knowledge: A Philosophy of Scientific Instruments (2004) and Inductive Logic: Inferring the Unknown (1988).

GSG Colloquium Series: Dr. Gillian Galford
2025-11-06 12:00 - 13:00 | Grace Conference Room, Higgins University Center
Shifting Frontiers: Land-Use Transitions and Agricultural Intensification in Brazil’s Cerrado

Gillian Galford

Research Associate Professor, Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources; Fellow of the Gund Institute for the Environment at the University of Vermont

Brazil’s Cerrado, the world’s most biodiverse savanna, is being rapidly transformed by agriculture and global markets. In this talk, Dr. Gillian Galford draws on geospatial and remote sensing analyses combined with geopolitical and socioeconomic perspectives to show how deforestation—primarily for pasture—often precedes cropland development. Shifts in crop rotations reveal both intensifying land use and expanding agricultural frontiers, while global trade demand accelerates these changes. Together, these dynamics illuminate the powerful forces reshaping one of Earth’s most critical ecosystems.

Albert M. Tapper Annual Lecture

Keynote: Lessons and Legacies of the Holocaust: Inaugural Emerging Scholars Conference

Speaker: Sarah Casteel (Professor of English, Carleton University)

Holocaust Studies From the Outside In: Art and Relational Thinking in Times of Crisis

In the aftermath of October 7th, as the contemporary meaning and relevance of the Holocaust come under greater pressure, Holocaust studies is confronting existential questions regarding its purpose and future. This talk considers how remapping the field through unconventional disciplinary, cultural, and geographical lenses can help scholars to navigate these challenges. In keeping with the field’s recent colonial turn, it identifies wartime and contemporary literature and visual art that present Holocaust experience as entangled with other histories of violence. In particular, Black writing and art about the Holocaust promote a relational understanding of shared and intersecting histories that combats contemporary polarization.
