Join the Buckley Institute on Saturday, June 1, at The Study at Yale (1157 Chapel St, New Haven) for a Yale faculty panel titled, “Campus Intolerance: From Attacks on Free Speech to Antisemitism.”
We are honored to be joined by T. Lawrason Riggs Professor of History and Religious Studies Carlos Eire and Dr. Evan Morris, Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and of Biomedical Engineering. The discussion will be moderated by former Buckley Student President Ryan Gapski ’24.
Carlos Eire, who received his PhD from Yale in 1979, specializes in the social, intellectual, religious, and cultural history of late medieval and early modern Europe, with a focus on both the Protestant and Catholic Reformations; the history of popular piety; the history of the supernatural, and the history of death. Before joining the Yale faculty in 1996, he taught at St. John’s University in Minnesota and the University of Virginia, and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton for two years. He is the author of War Against the Idols: The Reformation of Worship From Erasmus to Calvin (1986); From Madrid to Purgatory: The Art and Craft of Dying in Sixteenth Century Spain (1995); A Very Brief History of Eternity (2010); Reformations: The Early Modern World (2016); The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila: A Biography (2019); and They Flew: A History of the Impossible (2023). He is also co-author of Jews, Christians, Muslims: An Introduction to Monotheistic Religions (1997); and ventured into the twentieth century and the Cuban Revolution in the memoir Waiting for Snow in Havana (2003), which won the National Book Award in Nonfiction in the United States and has been translated into more than a dozen languages. His second memoir, Learning to Die in Miami (2010), explores the exile experience.
Evan D. Morris, PhD is a Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at Yale University. He is known for his work using PET imaging to study the brain in addiction. He is also known for his engaging teaching of medical imaging and biomedical ethics. Among his duties as a reviewer, he served as a regular member of a Study Section at NIH from 2016-2020. In 2022, in response to growing antisemitism on campus, he founded Yale Forum for Jewish Faculty and Friends.
