Stag Symposium (stagsymposium@dematha.org)
Show Notes Season 2, Episode 10. Publication date 1/20/2025
Stag Symposium spends this episode with Mike and Dan talking about books they are reading, movies they are watching, and reflecting on what they are learning from colleagues and texts–and how that shows up in their teaching.
Lots of shout outs to stoicism and a request to listeners that if they know a movie that deals with theological or moral issues that you think might belong in a faculty summer seminar–please send them to us.
