SUMMARY:Harvey Lecture: The Rev. Dr. Bradley S. Hauff
DESCRIPTION:This year’s student-led Harvey Lecture will feature the Rev. Dr. Bradley S. Hauff\, the Episcopal Church Missioner for Indigenous Ministries\, a member of the Presiding Bishop’s staff. In his role\, Hauff is responsible for enabling and empowering Indigenous peoples and their respective communities within the Episcopal Church while also guiding the broader Church in intercultural competencies. \nHis talk is titled “It Ain’t Easy Being Native: Indigenous People\, the Doctrine of Discovery and the Episcopal Church.” The situation of Indigenous Americans will be examined\, beginning with the pre-Columbian historical context and the initiation and impact of the Doctrine of Discovery.  The involvement of the Christian Church\, from early missionary and colonization efforts will be discussed\, focusing particularly on those of the Episcopal Church.  The current realities and challenges of Indigenous life will also be presented\, with suggestions on how the Church can most effectively and appropriately respond to the injustices of the past\, many of which continue to the present day. \nThe event will be live at Knapp Auditorium on Seminary of the Southwest campus\, and livestreamed at the ssw.edu website and the Southwest Facebook page. \n\nWatch Native Voices: Speaking to the Church and the World – from TEC Office of Indigenous Ministries \n\n  \nHauff will join in a student-led conversation at 3:00 p.m. in room 210A\, and Community Hour at 4:00 p.m. on the Motte. The lecture will start at 6:30 p.m. in Knapp Auditorium\, and there will be a dessert reception following in Howell Dining Hall. \nThe Reverend Dr. Bradley S. Hauff is the Indigenous Missioner for the Episcopal Church\, a member of the Presiding Bishop’s staff.  He is originally from South Dakota; born in Sioux Falls and raised in Rapid City\, and he is enrolled with the Oglala Sioux Tribe (Lakota) of Pine Ridge\, as were both of his parents.  He received his Master of Divinity degree from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary\, where he also served on the Board of Trustees.  He received his Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree from the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology\, and worked for a time in the mental health profession\, specializing in Native American identity formation and domestic abuse interventions.  He has been an Episcopal priest for 29 years and has served congregations in the dioceses of South Dakota\, Minnesota\, Florida and Pennsylvania.  He has written articles and made numerous presentations around the country on Native American issues.  He also served on the Task Force for Reimagining the Episcopal Church (TREC).  \nThe student-led Harvey Lectures were conceived at Seminary of the Southwest as a way of honoring the late Dean Hudnall Harvey\, who died unexpectedly in 1972\, after serving as the seminary’s dean for just five years. \nDuring Dean Harvey’s tenure\, following some institutional turbulence during the 1960s\, the seminary had begun rebuilding: in terms of enrollment\, financial strength\, and earning back the trust of many dioceses through the church. \nThe seminary community established the Harvey Lectures an annual series that would be overseen by student leaders and that would address the relationship between pastoral leadership and contemporary issues confronting the church. \nOver the years\, these Lectures have become a lasting and vital resource for the seminary\, bringing important and diverse theological voices to our campus.

SUMMARY:Payne Lecture – J. Kameron Carter
DESCRIPTION:  \n2023 Payne Lecture featuring J. Kameron Carter\nvia Livestream\nPlease join Dr. J. Kameron Carter– Professor\, Religious Studies\, and Co-Director\, Center for Religion and the Human at Indiana University Bloomington – as he presents the 2023 Payne Lecture titled Beyond (the Religion of) Whiteness. The lecture will be presented virtually and livestreamed at the ssw.edu website and the Southwest Facebook page. \nHosted by Seminary of the Southwest’s Board of Trustees\, the Payne Lecture is an annual event that focuses on mission and honors the Rt. Rev. Claude E. Payne\, former chair of the seminary’s board and bishop of the Diocese of Texas\, retired. \nClick Here to Register\n\n\n  \nThis talk interrogates whiteness through the lens of the black study of religion. More specifically\, it engages cultural theorist W. E. B. Du Bois’s idea that whiteness is a religion wherein the death drive and the drive for property converge as racial capitalism. This is another way of saying that for Du Bois\, whiteness is earth-extracting\, earth-destroying political theology. This talk’s principal task is to unpack the main contours of this claim\, while\, by the end\, gesturing toward an account of the stakes of Du Bois’s artistic practice as a post-apocalyptic poet and fiction writer. As an artist\, Du Bois critiques what he called “the religion of whiteness” as part of a larger project of opening an understanding of blackness as practices of creative\, artistic living in and through the devastation of the earth or the settler-colonial stealing of land and life. Such creative living is akin to what Zora Neale Hurston called “making a way out of no way” and to what\, increasingly\, I call the arts of black faith. Black faith conjures post-apocalyptic forms of life and belonging. It’s call to action is to live life poetically and poethically\, and thus imagine alternatives to this “narrow now.” \nJ. Kameron Carter works at the intersection of questions of race and the current ecological ravaging of the earth. He is interested in what these intertwined issues have to do with the modern world\, generally\, and with America (or rather the Americas)\, more specifically\, as a unique religious situation or phenomenon. He explores these matters with the resources of black critical theory\, which is simply to say critical theory\, combined with theories of the sacred and languages drawn from the domains of religion\, theology\, and philosophy. He also draws on feminist\, gender\, and queer theory\, philosophy and aesthetics\, and literatures and poetries of the African diaspora as a further repertoire of resources with which to reimagine matter itself\, all with a view to imagining alternative worlds\, other ways of being with the earth and thus with each other. \nHe teaches courses at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels in black studies and/as critical theory; continental philosophy and aesthetics; religion\, modernity\, and the secular; political theology; hip hop and religion; black feminism and religion; theories of religion; theory of the sacred; modern theology; race and mysticism; Afro-futurism and religion; black experimental writing and poetics; black nature or eco-poetry; African American literature and religion. \nCarter’s writings reflect the above-mentioned intellectual concerns and subject matters. For example\, in 2008 he published a book titled Race: A Theological Account in which he examined how discourses of Christian theology worked with Enlightenment philosophical discourses of “reason” to shape our current “racial common sense” or how we have come to understand ourselves as “raced” beings. He explores how this was a profound wrong-turn whose consequences are baked into the very fabric of what we call the modern world and Western democratic societies. Additionally\, in 2013 he edited a special issue of the journal South Atlantic Quarterly called Religion and the Future of Blackness. Profiling a range of established and emerging scholars and thinkers in black (religious) studies\, Religion and the Futures of Blackness offers essays that reimagine religion and the political beyond the dominant racialized conceptions of these terms and towards alternative worlds. \nProfessor Carter has just completed The Anarchy of Black Religion: A Mystic Song (forthcoming\, Duke University Press\, August 2023). Anarchy is the first volume in Carter’s “The Black Study of Religion” trilogy. Carter is completing the trilogy’s second volume\, which is titled The Religion of Whiteness: An Apocalyptic Lyric. Carter’s Payne Lecture draws from The Religion of Whiteness project.
