SUMMARY:Polarization\, Social Cohesion\, and the Economy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE for IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE for ONLINE  \n\n\nFor more information\, contact gzokal@lumenchristi.org   \nWith polarization on the rise around the globe\, scholars have pointed to a broader fragmentation of social cohesion. Economics\, sociology\, theology and philosophy offer different entry points for exploring these problems. How might we better understand this global moment? This marks the 5th anniversary of Pope Francis’s social encyclical\, Fratelli Tutti\, which sought not only to diagnose these problems\, but to also offer moral responses for all people of good will. How might principles derived from Catholic social teaching\, such as solidarity\, human dignity\, and “the preferential option for the poor” operate within local and national economies to contribute towards a greater common good? \nThis event is on Thursday March 27th\, 2025\, from 5:00 to 6:30 PM and is free and open to the public. Attendees should enter via the South Dorchester Avenue doors.  \nThis event is cosponsored by the Catholic Research Economists Discussion Organization (CREDO)\, the International House Global Voices Program\,\, the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at the University of Chicago\, and the Alliance for the Social Market Economy.  \nPersons with disabilities who may need assistance should contact International House in advance of the program at (773) 753-2274 or email i-house-programs@uchicago.edu \n \n \n \n  \n \n

Can we even bring our personal religious and political convictions to bear in the university and other public spaces? And how does pluralism contribute to greater flourishing in our society? Join us as two of our nation’s leading voices on pluralism discuss their own beliefs and what it means to bring one’s whole person (including one’s religious\, political\, and ethical convictions) into the public square with confidence and humility. \nFor more information about the Veritas Forum at the University of Chicago\, visit HERE.

SUMMARY:The Family in the Changing Economy
DESCRIPTION:How does today’s economy impact the modern family? Several trends link mounting burdens on family life to economics: children are raised amid familial and fiscal instability\, young people are delaying or forgoing marriage\, the elderly are made increasingly vulnerable with a growing distance between generations and rising health care costs\, and the families of economic refugees are often divided across national borders or go legally unrecognized. Yet families form us as persons and are integral both to society and the economy. Situated between the 2014 and 2015 Synod Of Bishops On The Family\, this symposium will feature dialogue among Bishop Cantù\, economists\, and scholars on what insights Catholic social teaching and contemporary economics can offer into the current crisis of the family in the changing economy. \nOpening Remarks\nBlase J. Cupich\, Archbishop of Chicago \nKeynote Address\nOscar Cantú\, Bishop of Las Cruces\, NM; Chair\, USCCB Committee on International Justice and Peace \nPanelists\nPierre-André Chiappori\, Columbia University\nWilliam Evans\, University of Notre Dame\nChristine Firer Hinze\, Fordham University\nValerie Ramey\, University of California\, San Diego \nThis program is part of the Lumen Christi Institute’s Seventh Annual Conference in Economics and Catholic Social Thought\, a continuing exchange between research economists\, bishops\, and scholars. \n\nPresented by the Lumen Christi Institute for Catholic Thought. Co-sponsored by The International House Global Voices Program\, & The Seng Foundation Program for Market-Based Programs and Catholic Values at the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts\, and the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame.

SUMMARY:The Human Person\, Economics & Catholic Social Thought
DESCRIPTION:“The current financial crisis can make us overlook the 
fact that it originated in a profound human crisis: 
the denial of the primacy of the human person!”\n– Pope Francis\, Evangelii Gaudium\n\nThe human person is a contested terrain. Within the fields of Economics and Catholic Social Thought\, each maintain distinct conceptions of and emphases on the human person that impact their respective diagnoses of contemporary crises and proposed solutions. Drawing together economists\, bishops and scholars\, this symposium will explore fundamental convergences and divergences in the conception of the human person in Economics and Catholic Social Thought. \nThis program is part of the Lumen Christi Institute’s Sixth Annual Conference in Economics and Catholic Social Thought\, a continuing exchange between research economists\, bishops\, and scholars. \nCo-sponsored by the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought\, The International House Global Voices Program\, The Seng Foundation Program for Market-Based Programs and Catholic Values\, & The Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts at the University of Notre Dame.
