Thursday nights to 27 November, the Conversation Series: Intergenerational
The ISCAST/NZCIS Conversation Series will be an experiment in intergenerational conversation. We have eight pairs of speakers—an established or older expert and a younger scholar or scientist exploring the theology/science border. We will have mediated conversations between the two, exploring how issues and challenges have evolved or persisted over the last few decades.
Speakers will come from physics and cosmology, the hard sciences, biology, and psychology as well as ethics, environmental science and science-engaged theology. We hope you will be excited by this new format. And we also hope that students will find the conversations engaging and compelling.
- Dates: Thursday nights to 27 November
- Time: 8:30–9:30 p.m. NZDT
- Format: Online via Zoom
- Price: $AU 70 for the full series, $AU 20 for student/concession. Discounts available for ISCAST and NZCIS members. Individual sessions available for $18 each.
After each conversation, you’ll have the chance to join in and put your own questions to both speakers. We’re looking forward to this fresh format, and we hope you—and especially younger participants—will find the conversations lively, thought-provoking, and inspiring.
Speakers include:
- Dr. Graeme Finlay and Dr Zachary Ardern --on evolutionary biology
- Dr Sarah Beattie and Ciru Muriuki--on physics and biblical interpretation and being a Christian in science

About NZCIS
NZCIS celebrates the interface between the natural sciences and Christian theology. It supports and promotes a holistic, evolutionary understanding of cosmic and biological history, in dialogue with and informed by Christian faith. Within those parameters we seek lively dialogue and wide-ranging investigation of the sciences and theology. We invite open dialogue and partnership with Mātauranga Maori and those of other faiths. And we seek to partner with all those working to heal the earth and to live more lightly on it. See more: https://www.nzcis.org/why-nzcis/
