Phi Beta Kappa Lecture: Douglas E. Christie, Loyola Marymount University

The Macalester College Religious Studies Department and the Macalester College PBK Chapter present a public lecture as part of the 2024-2025 Phi Beta Kappa Society Visiting Scholar Program:

Douglas E. Christie, Professor Emeritus in the Theological Studies Department at Loyola Marymount University

"The Practice of Everyday Life: Spirituality, Attention and Awareness"

Michel de Certeau's The Practice of Everyday Life (1974) remains an important
touchstone for helping us think about what it means to infuse everyday
ordinary existence with meaning and purpose. This lecture will consider the
ongoing significance of Certeau's insight for understanding how everyday
activities, undertaken with attention and awareness, can help inform our lives
with spiritual meaning and significance. And how such practices can help us,
personally and collectively, to create spaces of liberative spiritual meaning in our lives.
