Due to the limited space available for our Dinners with Faculty, we request that you contact Ann-Louise Aguiar '76 by telephone at (919) 962-3574 to register. New this semester, our Dinner with Faculty programs offer the opportunity for no more than 11 participants to enjoy free-ranging discussions with prominent and popular UNC faculty while dining at The Carolina Club. Rather than a lecture, you have the chance to engage the faculty on a more intimate level and ask those questions you've been eager to pose. This is the one opportunity where discussing religion and politics at the dinner table is perfectly acceptable. Wednesday, September 9 or Thursday, September 24 Bart Ehrman
James A. Gray Distinguished Professor, Department of Religious Studies
Ehrman has won several teaching and achievement awards and is the author or editor of more than 20 books. He is often featured by national media - from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to NPR's Fresh Air.
