Davidson Forum
The Davidson Forum is a platform for Davidson College and the surrounding communities to explore the intersections of the Reformed theological tradition, liberal arts education, religious pluralism and social ethics.
The Davidson Forum will include lectures, seminars, workshops and experiential learning led by the college’s faculty and scholars from other institutions. They’ll cover topics spanning from history to economics, science and religious studies.
The Davidson Forum springs from the Trustee-appointed 2021 Reformed Tradition Working Group’s recommendations for intellectual discourse about the college's 21st century educational mission in relation to its religious origins and Presbyterian Church (USA) affiliation. The Academic Affairs initiative falls under the leadership of Doug Ottati, the Craig Family Professor of Reformed Theology and Justice.

The Davidson Forum presented its fall panel on Wednesday, October 9 at 7 p.m. in the Alvarez College Union.
The panel on "Religion, the Arts, and Meaning" featured three Davidson College faculty members:
- Renata Berlin, Assistant Professor of the Practice in Music and Director of Choral Activities
- James Webb, Assistant Professor of Theatre
- Luis Sahagun, Visiting Professor in Studio Art
