dc.description.abstractDiscussion between Professor Willa Swenson-Lengyel and Holmes Rolston, III on February 10, 2023 via Zoom, includes a discussion with Anne Wills, Chair of Religious Studies at Davidson College. Rolston presents a series of two dozen slides that describe how he moved from being an undergraduate in physics and math at Davidson College in the 1950's through a career in science and religion for which he was in 2003 awarded the Templeton Prize in Buckingham Palace by Prince Philip and Jack Templeton. He immediately donated the prize, worth about $1.5 million, to Davidson College to establish an endowed chair in science and religion. Rolston engages in conversation with Willa Swenson-Lengyel, who in 2022 became the second person named to the chair, about why she took the position and what she expects to accomplish in it. Discussion of liberal arts and teaching the promising Davidson students how to think creatively in multiple disciplines. Discussion with Anne Wills who recalls how Willa Swenson-Lengyel was the selection committee's top choice. Discussion of similarities and differences between Rolston's career at Colorado State University, where he became a University Distinguished Professor, for his research and teaching relating science and religion, notably in environmental ethics and sustainability and Willa Swenson-Lengyel's anticipated career at Davidson College.
