The Center for Catholic and Dominican Studies

The Center for Catholic & Dominican Studies is committed to sharing the fruits of contemplation in the context of an increasingly complex, global, and post-Christian society that yearns for meaning and answers to the most fundamental questions about the human person: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we heading? It does this in pursuit of Veritas, truth, and by engaging both new and perennial sources that can offer fresh perspectives on contemporary issues in a spirit of dialogue and mutual respect with a view to enhancing teaching and learning. Following in the footsteps of notable Dominicans such as Aquinas, Vitoria, Las Casas, and Lacordaire, among others, the Center seeks to integrate the humanistic insights of theology and philosophy with political, social, and economic thought.

Common Good As Common Project

Our graduate student conference, The Common Good as Common Project, held March 26-28 2017 was a great success. The conference schedule as well as videos of the keynote addresses may be found at the Nanovic Institute webpage here. More projects will be forthcoming.

I am a co-organizer for the following graduate student conference at Notre Dame this Spring. Send in those proposals!
