The study of humankind’s fascination with the apocalyptic is a vast field, and has increased in interest over the last two decades with the approach and passing of the start of a new millennium. It is a subject that spans cultures, religions, time and space, and one that resists easy categorical definition. In Through a Glass Darkly, scholars and artists gather each year to deliver presentations and engage in dialogue at the Heller Center for Arts & Humanities on the campus of the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.

The 2020 presenters include Lorenzo DiTommaso (Concordia University Montreal), Brian Duvick (UCCS), Jon Forshee (UCCS), Karlyn Griffith (Cal Poly Pomona), Francis X. Gumerlock (Colorado College), Brandon Hawk (Rhode Island College), Lászlo Hubbes (Sapientia University of Transylvania), Derek Keller (Cosumnes River College), András Kraft (Princeton University), Suzanne MacAulay (UCCS), Eli Mason (Concordia University Montreal), Colin McAllister (UCCS), and James D. Romano (Fuller Theological Seminary).

Through a Glass Darkly was founded in 2015 and is directed by Colin McAllister from the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. In 2018, Lorenzo DiTommaso of Concordia University Montreal joined as Co-Director. Through a Glass Darkly is generously underwritten by the UCCS Humanities Program, the Heller Center for Arts & Humanities, the UCCS Department of Visual and Performing Arts, the UCCS Department of History and the UCCS Center for Religious Diversity and Public Life.

Events run from 3:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 to 9:00pm on Thursday, March 26. For full details, please visit: https://www.uccs.edu/vapa/index/apocalyptic
