Literature, Meaning, & Faith | Lori Branch

In today’s episode, an English professor explores the question of meaning. What compels us to look for meaning? And, is meaning found within ourselves or outside of ourselves?   You’ll hear from Lori Branch, an English professor at the University of Iowa. In this talk, she explores why we seek meaning, how we find meaning in our relationship with others, and how her Christian faith fulfills her search for meaning.   This forum was held at Furman University in March 2024. Thank you to the forums team for making this event possible.    Find additional resources and quotes on the podcast episode page here.
