The Rise of Humanist Chaplains

  • Taper Hall (THH) -- University of Southern California 3501 Trousdale Parkway Los Angeles, CA, 90089 United States (map)

Join us as we bring together four groundbreaking humanist chaplains to discuss their experience being some of the first secular chaplains to work in prisons, hospitals, universities, and the military.

This first-of-its-kind event will explore how humanists are reshaping our ideas about the chaplain profession and uniquely addressing the needs of people with secular identities.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Vanessa Gomez Brake, Associate Dean of Religious Life at the University of Southern California, and include military chaplain Marie-Claire Khadij, prison chaplain Elisa Rosoff, university chaplain Srishti Hukku, and hospital chaplain Joshua Berg.

A special introduction will be presented by Greg M. Epstein, Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University & MIT.
