Grace Forum Online Discovering Hinduism with Dr. Wendy Doniger

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join us for Grace Cathedral’s flagship conversation program online with one of the world’s foremost scholars on Hinduism.

What is Hinduism, a religion practiced by over one billion people? Join us to hear from Wendy Doniger, one of the world’s foremost scholars of Hinduism, in conversation with Dean Malcolm Clemens Young about one of the world’s oldest major religions. Holding doctorates in Sanskrit and Indian Studies from Harvard and Oxford, Doniger is Professor Emerita of the University of Chicago and a prolific author, translator, and editor, publishing almost thirty books in as many years.

Recent works include Against Dharma: Dissent in the Ancient Indian Sciences of Sex and Politics, Redeeming the Kamasutra, and Pluralism and Democracy in India: Debating the Hindu Right. Her groundbreaking work The Hindus: An Alternative History elucidates the relationship between recorded history and imaginary worlds, the inner life, and the social history of Hindus.

Space is limited. The Forum will be posted on our Youtube channel for viewing following the live stream.
