Past Numen Lumen Speakers
For our speakers:
When preparing for your Numen Lumen talk, speakers are encouraged to think about questions like:
- Who are the people who have changed or impacted your life in a particular way?聽 How?
- When have you been in community with peers, colleagues, or friends who hold different identities and how has that impacted your life?
- When traveling, what connections across lines of difference have you made and how did that change you?
Have you engaged in dialogue across difference and how did that feel? What happened? - Have you sat in discomfort with opposing views and how did you overcome that? How do you show up when you disagree with someone?
- How have you changed thanks to engagement with someone different from you?
- What are the stories from your life that are yearning for a community to hear and to hold them?
颅We hope that these questions will be more of a place to begin brainstorming than a strict prompt to which speakers should adhere.聽 颅While speakers should feel free to share stories and aspects of their lives authentically and freely, Rev. Dr. Kirstin Boswell, University Chaplain and Dean of Multifaith Engagement, is also available to meet with speakers to brainstorm, answer questions, and support speakers as desired.
