Process Philosophy in Under-Explored Traditions in Philosophical History: An Online Conference
This conference will be the first to birth this long overdue intellectual exchange as it offers an improved metaphysical framework for value and consciousness in all ontological entities to address various concerns that are facing humanity: economy, political, and environmental. Although there are hesitant answers to some of these global challenges facing humanity, the influence of substance-based analysis has yet to offer penetrative answers, in addition to the almost complete lack of interaction among scholars of process to explore their common ground for a common voice in the way that substance thought has done over the centuries.

Theology Beer Camp 2026: The Godpodcalypse
Theology Beer Camp isn’t just an event—it’s an immersive experience where deep theological musings meet serious laughs, craft beer, and a room full of fellow theology nerds ready to debate everything from divine omnipotence to which beer style reigns supreme. This year, the theme is The Godpodcalypse—and we're bringing in Cornel West, Ilia Delio, Gary Dorrien, Diana Butler Bass, Kristen Du Mez and more to give insight on how to navigate these "unprecedented times."
Love, Conflict, and an Unfolding Universe

We invite you to gather with us in person (and online) at Villanova University to mark this milestone and deepen our shared journey.
