In Conversation with Sikh Prof

  • Brampton City Hall 2 Wellington Street West Brampton, ON, L6Y 1M8 Canada (map)

Join us as we explore Dr. Simran Jeet Singh’s journey of becoming an educator, writer and activist. Singh is a 2018 Luce/ACLS Fellow for Religion, Journalism, and International Affairs and a Visiting Scholar at New York University's Center for Religion and Media. The Harvard Divinity School Alumni/Alumnae Council selected Singh as a 2018 Peter J. Gomes STB ’68 Memorial honoree, an award which "recognizes distinguished HDS alumni whose excellence in life, work, and service pays homage to the mission and values of Peter J. Gomes STB ’68 and Harvard Divinity School." He is also a columnist for Religion News Service and NYU's Sikh chaplain. He currently serves on Governor Cuomo's Interfaith Advisory Committee for the State of New York and was named as a faith leader to watch in 2018 by the Center for American Progress.

The evening will be a fireside chat style conversation and seating will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.
