Lectures in Catholic Experience Presents - Dr. Amir Hussain
Amir Hussain, a Canadian Muslim with a dissertation on Muslim communities in Toronto, found himself some twenty years ago teaching at a Catholic university in Los Angeles. In 2009, he became the first non-Christian scholar to be tenured in his department (which was founded with the university almost 100 years earlier). He then served a term as chair of that Department of Theological Studies. In this presentation, Amir will talk about his journey, from graduate work in a secular department for the study of religion, to first teaching in a large public state university, and then seeking out a position in a Jesuit university’s theology department.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor and theologian, was a leading spokesperson for the Confessing Church, the Protestant resistance to Hitler and National Socialism. He was eventually arrested and executed. In the eighty years since his death, his books have continued to be influential. In recent years, Bonhoeffer’s legacy has become polarized as people who support Donald Trump and those who oppose him, both claim this theologian as an inspiration for their views. This play focuses on the final period of Bonhoeffer’s life, and promises to be thought-provoking and inspiring.
