This series offers the opportunity to learn from Black faculty, researchers, and graduate students, as they share their scholarship in their areas of teaching, research or practice.

The Emerging Scholars Network is grateful to partner with the Christian Scholars Foundation and Global Scholars to encourage and nurture Christian junior faculty as they strive for wider recognition in and beyond the academy. For full details, click here.

How do you find time to connect with God during the busy years of graduate school? Pastor and InterVarsity staff, Howard Chang, shares how spiritual disciplines have provided the rhythms and space to stay connected to God as a branch is to a vine (John 15:6)."

"Are you feeling weary? Perhaps worn out from adversity or conflict? Jesus' justice-worn heart, dusy feet and tear-laden eyes remind us he carries our humanity into God's presence as the only true Son of God and our great mediator. Come and study the book of Hebrews where you will find an anchor for your weary soul."

Come and discover Jesus as the ultimate caregiver while also reflecting on your own self-care. These discussions are great for those who are just investigating life with Jesus as well as committed Christ-followers.

Workshops will be held from 3 – 4 pm (Workshops Session 1) and 4:30 – 5:15 pm (Workshops Session 2). Scroll to the bottom to download a PDF if you would like to print.

The ESN blog has partnered with Emerging Scholars as writers of content for and by graduate students and faculty. The material these writers have shared with the Emerging Scholars Network has been such an encouragement. Hannah Eagleson, an editor and writer for ESN collected some of the best resources for your reference as you plan events for your chapter, fellowship, small group, or prayer meetings. We are so grateful to the ESN Blog writers for these contributions.
