Conference Honoring the Philosophy of Nimi Wariboko
On November 21, Boston University and the University of Texas at Austin are hosting an online conference on “The Philosophy of Nimi Wariboko,” covering the major themes of ethics, economy, society, religion, and African social traditions. A prolific author and thinker, Dr. Wariboko is the Walter G. Muelder Professor of Social Ethics at Boston University, as well as a faculty associate at the CGCM.

The collection, The Philosophy of Nimi Wariboko: Social Ethics, Economy, and Religion, will be published by Carolina Academic Press in November.
Conference speakers include Mark Lewis Taylor (Princeton Seminary), Femi Vaughn (Amherst College), and Ebenezer Obadare (University of Kansas).
