Divine and Human Persons: Comparative Reflections on Some Hindu and Christian Understandings of Self

A presentation by Ram-Prasad Chakravarthi, professor in the Department of Religious Studies, Lancaster University.

Hosted by Francis X. Clooney, S.J., Parkman Professor of Divinity and Professor of Comparative Theology, Harvard Divinity School.
Co-sponsored by the Society for Comparative Theology

These meetings are open to all interested graduate students and faculty, from any of the BTI schools or other neighboring schools. The Society is a colloquium for faculty and graduate students of the Boston Theological Institute, as well as scholars in the greater Boston area. It meets on a regular basis ­ usually three times a year [fall, winter, spring] - for discussion and the presentation of current work by the Society's members.

Directions to CSWR are available at http://www.hds.harvard.edu/cswr/about/directions.html Parking for this event is available in the small lot on the left side, just before reaching the Divinity School at 45 Francis Avenue; since parking is limited, however, car pooling and public transportation are still encouraged.

The recommended garage is the large one about a block from STH on Commonwealth Ave. under the Warren Towers dorms. It is open till 11pm and has easy access off of Commonwealth Ave. You turn left off to Commonwealth Ave. travelling east into Boston just at the end of the Warren Towers complex on Hinsdale Street—Hinsdale is very short and the entrance to the garage is right after you turn off Commonwealth Ave.
