“It's exciting to have three distinguished scholars sharing their time and expertise with the USM and Hattiesburg communities this fall,” said Dr. Amy Slagle, associate professor of religion in the USM School of Humanities and coordinator of the forum series. “The religious dimensions of Hip Hop, the relationship between technology and military ethics, and perceptions of UFO phenomena are among the fascinating topics awaiting our forum audiences.” 

The Philosophy & Religion Forum is presented by the USM Philosophy program, which is housed in the USM College of Arts and Sciences’ School of Humanities. For more information, contact Dr. Slagle at a.slagleFREEMississippi.
