Up and
Coming: Catholic social teaching and racism
By Michael Nataro '06
On Nov. 18-19, Dr. Barbara Wall from the Office for Mission Effectiveness
is sponsoring a two-day workshop titled “Catholic Social Teaching and
Racism.” This two-day program, beginning Thursday morning and lasting all
day Friday, boasts an assembly of scholars and experts from Harvard,
Princeton, University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown from a variety of
different academic fields. The Office for Mission Effectiveness is greatly
looking forward to this program. “The goal of the conference is to continue
a dialogue between the tradition of Catholic social teaching on the
sacredness and dignity of all people and the current research on racism as
found in the research and literature of the social sciences, humanities and
law. We will examine the ways Catholic social teaching informs the dialogue
and the ways current research and inform Catholic social teaching,” said
Wall. This event is open to the public as well as to the Villanova
community. Professors are strongly encouraged to promote this event and to
participate by bringing their classes. |
