The College of Arts and Sciences is exploring contemplation's rich legacy in religions, while researching ethical reasoning, cultural contexts, and the convergence of the humanities and sciences. One of the world's finest, the Department of Religious Studies, interprets contemplative traditions in historical, cultural, and contemporary contexts. Humanists are partnering with scientists and the professional schools to bring the power of their collective knowledge to bear upon the challenge of understanding the dynamics and utility of contemplative practices in context. The College is initiating diverse contemplative learning programs throughout the college inside and outside of the academic classroom in the humanities and sciences.
