Women Engaging the Catholic Social Tradition: Solidarity toward a Common Good

A Lunchtime Discussion

All spots have been filled

Thursday, May 7
12-1:15pm in ADAL, Rolfe Room
Lunch and book provided

Join ICTC for a discussion with Dr. Erin Brigham, one of the editors of Women Engaging the Catholic Social Tradition, a work that invites us to broaden, deepen, and in many ways reimagine how Catholic social thought is lived, taught, and embodied. 

This text is particularly meaningful in our context. As a Jesuit institution committed to justice, dialogue, and the formation of the whole person, we are continually called to ask: whose voices are shaping our understanding of the Catholic Social Tradition? And just as importantly, whose voices have been missing, overlooked, or underheard? 

Women Engaging the Catholic Social Tradition does not simply add women’s perspectives as an afterthought—it centers them. Our reading for this discussion will be the forward written by Dr. Diana Hayes and the afterword by Sr. Simone Campbell. Participants will receive a copy of the book before the discussion. 

Erin Brigham directs the Joan and Ralph Lane Center for Catholic Social Thought and the Ignatian Tradition and teaches in the department of Theology and Religious Studies. She also directs the St. Ignatius Institute, a living-learning community rooted in academics, spirituality, and solidarity.
