Reception to follow.</p><p></p><br><figure></figure><p><strong><b><strong><b>Victor Carmona</b></strong></b></strong> is associate professor of theology and religious studies at the University of San Diego. Carmona’s research advances theological-ethical analyses of migration with a global perspective grounded in Latinx points of view. His dual aim is to draw from the wisdom the Catholic tradition offers to create more just immigration systems and to nurture its ability to do so in increasingly pluralistic and interdependent societies. Publications include chapters on immigration in <em><i>Human Families: Identity, Relationships, and Responsibilities </i></em>(Orbis, 2021), where Carmona takes up the challenges of global migration, particularly at the US southern border, and the moral and political questions shaping this ongoing reality as it relates to families, in <em><i>Value and Vulnerability: An Interfaith Dialogue on Human Dignity</i></em> (University of Notre Dame Press, 2020), where he analyzes the US and European efforts to externalize their border enforcement to stop Central American and Syrian refugees attempting to reach their borders, and in <em><i>Sex, Love, and Families: Catholic Perspectives </i></em>(Liturgical Press, 2020), where he tends to the dilemmas that mixed-status families are confronting in daily life to diversify Catholic reflections on family ethics.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://socialconcerns.nd.edu/event/encounter-series-migration-a-prism-of-encounter-with-god-self-and-neighbor/">https://socialconcerns.nd.edu/event/encounter-series-migration-a-prism-of-encounter-with-god-self-and-neighbor/</a></p>
