<H2>Normal Life: Thoughts on Diversity with Catherine MacLean</H2>
<DIV CLASS="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW126208930">
The social consequence of difference merits deep philosophical, religious, and spiritual understanding. Is diversity a social construct? A moral imperative? Why is something considered “the norm”? From I am Canadian beer ads to literature to civic demonstrations, we furnish diversity with meaning and values. 
</DIV>
<DIV CLASS="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW126208930">
In this lecture we will address religious narratives through vivid ancient stories such as Hagar and Moses. We will consider thoughts from Northrop Frye, Margaret Atwood, Thomas King and Barry Lopez. We will take into account the problem of uniformity and critically examine some cultural metanarratives that sustain both norms and diversity.
