SUMMARY:From ESG to Impact Investing: Catholic reflections from the field
DESCRIPTION:Registration required. Open to students and faculty only. Email info@lumenchristi.org to inquire about registration. \nShould business and finance play larger roles in resolving the great social and environmental challenges of our time? Proponents of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) investing say yes. They argue that ESG financial strategies can help reverse runaway carbon emissions and fix income and gender inequalities\, among other ills. ESG-integrated investments already encompass more than $120 trillion in financial assets. Are they working as promised? If not\, how can they be improved? \nIn his new book Sustainable\, Terrence Keeley\, a finance-industry veteran offers an insider’s look at the promises\, prospects\, and perils of ESG investing. Keeley argues that many ESG advocates have been overly optimistic about what it can accomplish. Divestment threats are ineffective tools for altering corporate behavior\, and verifiably “good” companies do not systematically generate great returns. Most importantly\, business and finance cannot cure social ills on their own: regulators\, public policies\, civil society\, and individuals must all play specific\, complementary roles to shape the future we want. Keeley provides comprehensive solutions that would promote more inclusive\, sustainable growth. In particular\, he recommends reallocating capital from some indexed products toward an emerging class of strategies with more verifiable social and environmental benefits. Keeley identifies dozens of alternative “impact investing” strategies that could generate true double bottom lines. He also highlights promising civic organizations with proven methodologies for achieving widely shared benefits at scale. \nProposing practical\, actionable\, and in many cases profitable solutions to social and environmental problems\, Sustainable offers an incisive vision of the roles business and finance can and should play in building a flourishing society. \nCome and join the Lumen Christi Institute and Catholics at Booth for a lunchtime conversation between former Blackrock executive Terrence Keeley and Prof. Luigi Zingales. \n\nImage from Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG Toward Impact Investing (Columbia Business School Publishing\, 2022)

SUMMARY:Lunch Discussion on "Vatican II after 60 Years: The Legacy of Benedict XVI"
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Registration required. Contact info@lumenchristi.org with any questions about this event. This event is co-presented with Calvert House and co-sponsored by the graduate and undergradate Catholic Students Organization. A Mass will precede the event. Lunch will be provided.  \nVatican II was the landmark event in the life of the 20th century Church. But opinions are divided over the extent to which the council was a decisive rupture with past life and practice in the Church.  Amid a variety of interpretations in the decades following the council\, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI sought to integrate Vatican II within the wider history of the Church. \nJoin us for a lunchtime discussion with Fr. Stephen Fields\, SJ\, who will explore Pope Benedict XVI’s provocative thesis of a ‘hermeneutic of continuity\,” which emphasized that authentic renewal could only occur in deep continuity with the past.

SUMMARY:Still Mining the Forgotten: Black Catholic Women's History in the 21st Century with Shannen Dee Williams
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty. Box lunches will be served. Texts will be provided. This event is co-sponsored by the Martin Marty Center for the Public Understanding of Religion.  \nDespite being the world’s oldest and most popular Black Christian tradition\, studies of Black Catholicism remain underrepresented both within popular discourse and academic study. This is especially true in the United States. Shannen Dee Williams is one contemporary scholar working to change this. In Subversive Habits\, the first full history of Black Catholic nuns in the United States\, Williams sheds light on a too-often overlooked group of Black American churchwomen and freedom fighters. Her book also turns overdue attention to women’s religious life as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segregation–and thus an important battleground in the long African American struggle for freedom\, justice\, and human dignity. \nJoin us for this lunchtime seminar in which Dr. Williams will speak on the growing field of Black Catholic studies and the primary sources which have shaped her scholarship. Copies of Subversive Habits\, as well as lunch\, will be provided to all participants. \nProf. Williams will give a lecture later in the evening on “America’s Real Sister Act: The Hidden History of Black Catholic Nuns in the United States.” \nReadings:\n\nSubversive Habits\, Introduction\, Chapters 3\, 5 (required)\n“SUBVERSIVE HABITS: A book discussion with Shannen Dee Williams” in The American Catholic Newsletter (required)\n “I Wrote the First Full History of Black Catholic Nuns in the United States” in America Magazine (optional)
