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.

SUMMARY:"From Ancient Wisdom to Person-Centered Care": Historical\, Philosophical\, and Theological Foundations of Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Apply here\nAnselm House & Lumen Christi Institute present: \n“From Ancient Wisdom to Person-Centered Care”: Historical\, Philosophical\, and Theological Foundations of Healthcare”\nAugust 4-August 8\, 2026 \nAt a time when many learners in the health sciences feel stretched thin\, morally conflicted\, or uncertain about who they are becoming\, we have created a space for the hungry and the weary to slow down\, ask deeper questions about the professions they are entering\, and deepen their moral and spiritual perspectives as they seek purpose in the healing arts. \nFrom Ancient Wisdom to Person-Centered Care is a 4.5-day immersive experience for graduate-level health sciences learners—especially medical and nursing students—who want time and space to reflect on the deeper meaning of medicine\, faith\, and vocation amid the realities of modern healthcare. \nDuring the first 2.5 days\, participants will gather around shared meals\, interactive lectures\, seminar-style discussions\, and unhurried conversations with faculty to explore foundational texts from the Judeo-Christian tradition and its philosophical partners. Readings range from ancient Greek and Hebrew sources through figures such as Galen\, Hildegard of Bingen\, and Maimonides. Together\, we will wrestle with enduring questions that continue to shape clinical practice today: What does it mean to care for the whole person? What is the clinician–patient relationship really for? How do calling\, character\, and conscience matter in healthcare? These questions will be explored in conversation with ancient wisdom and carried forward into contemporary contexts. \nAs the seminar unfolds\, learners will also be introduced to modern philosophical and theological accounts of personhood\, attending carefully to how the promise and pressure of contemporary medicine—especially where efficiency\, technology\, and institutional demands collide with deeply held values—can be navigated with integrity and hope. \nThe experience culminates in a day-and-a-half symposium with the noted physician and philosopher Daniel P. Sulmasy. His work on spirituality in healthcare will enliven participants’ imaginations as they engage him in an intimate setting with one of the leading voices at the intersection of medicine\, ethics\, and faith. \nHosted at the University of Minnesota\, the program also includes time to explore local art and culture\, participate in worship at congregations or parishes of one’s choosing\, and build community with peers who seek to become clinicians formed not only by competence\, but by wisdom. \nIf you are a graduate-level health sciences student who has ever wondered: \n\nWhat is medicine and healthcare ultimately for?\nHow can I live my faith and values with integrity in healthcare?\nHow do I navigate moral conflict\, burnout\, or disillusionment as a clinician in training?\nWho am I becoming through this work—and who do I hope to be?\n\n—this experience may be for you. \nThe seminar will be led by Professors Jon C. Tilburt\, M.D. (Mayo Clinic)\, Evan Beacom (University of Minnesota Twin Cities) & Daniel Sulmasy (Georgetown University) \nLOCATION AND FORMAT\nThis is a fully in-person experience; no virtual option is available. Attendance for the full program is required. Learners interested in attending only the final 1.5-day symposium may find more information at www.Anselmhouse.org. \nThe seminar will be held at Anselm House at the University of Minnesota between Tuesday August 4th and Saturday August 8th. \nQUALIFICATIONS AND APPLICATION\nThe seminar is an opportunity to meet 15 promising scholars training in the medical fields at the graduate or resident level. There are no seminar fees and reading materials are provided. Accommodations and most meals will be provided. Additionally\, participants will be reimbursed travel expenses up to $350. \nApplication Information: \n\nApplicants will be required to submit a completed online application\, including:\n\nAn updated CV/resume.\nA brief statement of research interest related to seminar theme no longer than 750 words.\nAn academic letter of recommendation that speaks to the applicants academic qualifications and ability to participate in a collaborative learning seminar format.\n\n\nAll application materials can be submitted via the online application. Fifteen participants will be admitted to this seminar.\nApplications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the seminar is filled. For fullest consideration\, apply by April 6\, 2026.\n\nThis seminar is made possible by Anselm House and the support of the Lumen Christi Institutes grant\, In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation\, and the generous support of donors. \nLearners interested in attending only the final 1.5-day symposium may find more information at www.Anselmhouse.org. \nContact us with any questions at seminars@lumenchristi.org.
