What does it mean to know something? How do the ways in which we are taught or the ways in which academic research is done influence and shape our knowledge? In this Food for Thought module, we will explore knowledge across disciplines—including what it means for something to be true in both the sciences and the humanities—and how the rituals of learning influence our understanding.

This module is organized as part of our Magi Project for Science and Theology, and was thus made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation. The opinions expressed in this module’s materials are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the John Templeton Foundation. Food for Thought is cosponsored by Harrison College House and Penn’s Program for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society.
