CST Announces Dr. Philip Clayton’s Retirement
It is with a mix of sadness and immense gratitude, that CST announces the retirement of Dr. Philip Clayton from his position of Ingraham Professor of Theology at CST, which he held for more than 20 years. Between 2011 and 2013, Clayton also served as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty at CST, as well as Provost (later Executive Vice President) at Claremont Lincoln University.
“During his many years as our faculty colleague and friend Philip enhanced CST’s strong legacy of Process Studies across the globe, brought new understandings to the intersection of science and religion, and developed fresh approaches to ecological activism from the perspectives of religious traditions,” said Dr. Andrew Dreitcer, VP of Academics and Dean of the Faculty. “I am so very grateful to have worked alongside Philip, and I know he will continue to be an influential presence internationally within conversations about the role of religion in public life.”
In addition to his service at CST, Clayton was a Visiting Professor at Harvard Divinity School; Visiting Fellow and Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge; Professor of Philosophy and Department Chair at Sonoma State University; Fulbright Senior Research Fellow at the University of Munich; Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Williams College; and Visiting Assistant Professor at Haverford College. A prolific author and editor, Clayton has also been the recipient of dozens of awards, fellowships, and lectureships, including being named CST Teacher of the Year in 2014.
Please join us in thanking Dr. Clayton for his many years of service to the CST community and beyond.
