All Things Cosmic is a podcast from the Center for Process Studies that engages cutting edge discourses across disciplines--from science, philosophy, and religion, to art, aesthetics and activism. Through conversations with scholars and artists whose work reflect process modes thought, we situate discourse among three core convictions: that creative evolution, axiological persuasion, and aesthetic articulation are fundamental to the cosmos. Far from being dislocations in a foreign universe, human existence, experience, and expression are exemplifications of all things cosmic.
All Things Cosmic W/Jon Ivan Gill S2:E7: Dan Siedell
On this episode of All Things Cosmic, we have the sheer delight of talking with Dan Siedell, Professor of Modern Art history, Theory, and Criticism at King's College in NYC and Doctoral Candidate in theology at Drew University in New Jersey. In various ways from personal histories to reflections on philosophy and theology, Dr. Siedell expounds on the often tenuous, mysterious, and multiplicitous reciprocal relation between art and religion that he explores in his texts God and the Gallery (Baker Academic, 2008), Who's Afraid of Modern Art? Modern Art in Conversation (Cascade, 2015), and Enrique Martinez Celaya: Work and Documents, 1900-2015 (Radius Books, 2016). Bringing in his experience as an art curator of over 100 exhibitions to his theoretical work philosophies and theologies of art, Dr. Siedell offers a robust discussion around the meaning-making that takes place in art and can serve as a source of ultimate foundation in similar ways to and independent of the meaning-making occurrent in those philosophical and experiential philosophies dubbed the "world religions" by many. Hosting an appropriate musical feature by Gilead7, this is one to tune in for.

All Things Cosmic w/Jon Ivan Gill S2:E6: Christopher M. Driscoll
On E6 of S2 of All Things Cosmic, we're so delighted to sit down with the erudite and exceptionally insightful Christopher M. Driscoll, Associate Professor of Religion Studies at Lehigh University as he lets us in on key schematic background information on which his new text, White Devils, Black Gods: Race, Masculinity, and Religious Codependency (Bloomsbury, 2022), is founded. Dr. Driscoll totally goes in on his transformative encounter with Nation of Islam offshoot known as Nation of Gods and Earths, also known as the Five Percent Nation, and offers a skillfully audacious take on their concept of the "White Devil" that, in Sankofa fashion, returns us to pre-NGE understandings of this trope while luring us to the present where he provocatively appeals to it to reveal the many times ugly and hidden truths of "Whiteness" to itself. Featuring music by Saturn-dropkicking Chicago Hip-Hop collective Tomorrow Kings and in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Center for Process Studies as well as the 2023 Common Good Film Festival, both occurring in Claremont, CA between 2/14-20/2023, this is an episode you don't want to snooze on.
