SUMMARY:Catholic Social Thought: A Critical Investigation
DESCRIPTION:Apply here\n“The Lumen Christi Institute will host its second week-long seminar for recent PhDs interested in the Catholic intellectual tradition. In this seminar\, participants will read\, analyze\, and discern continuities and discontinuities in Catholic social thought from the late 19th century to the present. Lectures\, seminar reports\, and discussion will focus on original sources (encyclicals and other magisterial documents)\, beginning with Rerum novarum (1892) and concluding with Caritas in veritate (2009) and Evangelii Gaudium (2013). This intensive course is multi-disciplinary\, since this tradition of social thought overlaps several disciplines in the contemporary university including political science\, political philosophy\, law\, economics\, theology\, and history. The seminar is an opportunity to meet 12 to 15 promising scholars working in different academic fields\, all with interests tied to Catholicism. \nThis seminar is our 2026 annual postdoctoral/early career scholar seminar.\nThere are no seminar fees and reading materials are provided. LCI will cover accommodations and most meals. Additionally\, participants travel expenses will be reimbursed  up to $500. \nApplicants must have received the Ph.D. no earlier than January 2022. Ph.D. candidates will be considered and must complete the Ph.D. by seminar (July 1\, 2026). \nThe seminar will begin with Vespers\, followed by a welcome dinner on Sunday\, August 2 and conclude the evening of Friday\, August 8.” \nThis project is made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of our donors.
