Dr. Elizabeth F. Thompson, a historian of social movements and liberal constitutionalism in the Middle East, will be this year's speaker for the Daoud Family Lectureship in Middle Eastern Studies.
Dr. Ron Mourad, who has taught in Albion College's Religious Studies Department since 2001, has been named interim provost effective July 1. "I like thinking about new programs and how they attract new and different types of students," he said. "We want to enliven a student’s imagination."
In an effort to bring the dead back to history, Albion's 10th biennial trip to Poland, capping the College's Holocaust Studies Service-Learning Project, is a chance for students to uncover and restore graves of Holocaust victims as well as learn about Polish Jewry in an experience many students have called unforgettable.
"Earlier this summer, while chatting with a group of Albion churchgoers, I made a remark about religious diversity and immediately regretted it," writes Tyler Eyster, '20. "I worried that these older people might be offended by the idea that one could embrace people of different faiths. Later, a woman in the group told me, ‘If you think we think we’re the only ones going to heaven, you’re wrong. These people are my family and I love them, but if I had to stay with just them for all eternity, I’d probably walk right out those Pearly Gates.'"
