Convocation: "The Already Peaceable Kingdom: Animals & Peace" - Trevor Bechtel, Bluffton University
Trevor Bechtel is a religion professor at Bluffton
University, in Ohio, and the recipient of the 2013-14 C.
Henry Smith Peace Lectureship.
Working from specific stories of animals across domestic and
wild spaces, Dr. Bechtel argues that peace is found wherever
we discover right relationships. His work aims at
understanding the ecology of our relationships and seeking
the full flourishing of all life. Surprising answers to
questions of domestication, vegetarianism, hunting and pet
owning will be considered.
