Catholic Leadership, Integral Ecology, and the Call of Laudato Si’
In an era of accelerating climate change, widening inequality and geopolitical uncertainty, how are Catholic institutions called to respond to the world’s most pressing challenges?
Join Cardinal Peter Turkson and Mary Gallagher, the Marilyn Keough Dean of the Keough School of Global Affairs, for a conversation on Catholic Leadership, integral human development and the role of faith, scholarship and research in advancing justice and peace. Their discussion will explore the enduring call of Laudato Si’, the interconnected challenges facing our world and the opportunities for Catholic institutions to advance knowledge and action for the common good.
This event is in partnership with the Keough School’s Ansari Institute for Global Engagement With Religion.
