Labor Café: "American Workers and the 2024 Election"
Friday, October 4, 2024 5:00–6:00 PM
- Location
- DescriptionHayden Kirwan, a senior majoring in history and minoring in poverty studies, will facilitate a discussion about workers and the 2024 election — jobs, immigration, unions, taxes, tariffs, and more. Kirwan is a Just Wage Research Lab fellow at the Center for Social Concerns.
The Labor Café at the Center for Social Concerns convenes the Notre Dame community for casual conversation on contemporary questions about work, workers, and workplaces. What rights and protections should those who work for others have? What’s the proper role for government in the economy? How should we address enduring problems of inequality, poverty, and lack of opportunity? And what does Catholic social tradition have to say about these labor questions? Participants choose the concrete topics, all people are welcome, and all opinions are entertained.

- Oct 47:00 PMFilm: "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" (2022)Each year around the Feast Day of St. Francis, the Browning Cinema programs films that look at nature, both for its beauty and the challenges presented in its preservation. This year, our film is adapted from Andreas Malm's 2021 novel of a similar title that presents questions that are central to environmentalism and sustainability but apply broadly to any form of political action: Where should guardrails be placed when one wants to eradicate a harm? To unspool that question, the film centers on a crew of young environmental activists executing a mission to sabotage an oil pipeline in this taut and timely thriller that is part high-stakes heist, part radical exploration of the climate crisis.

- Oct 59:00 AMDolan Seminar/Book Talk: Emily Conroy-Krutz’s "Missionary Diplomacy"Emily Conroy-Krutz (Michigan State University) will discuss her book Missionary Diplomacy: Religion and Nineteenth-Century American Foreign Relations (Cornell, 2024) at the Cushwa Center's fall 2024 Jay P. Dolan Seminar in American Religion. Commentators for this seminar are Heather Curtis (Tufts University) and Amy S. Greenberg (Penn State). From the publisher Missionary Diplomacy illuminates the crucial place of religion in 19th-century American diplomacy. From the 1810s through the 1920s, Protestant missionaries positioned themselves as key experts in the development of American relations in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Middle East. Missionaries served as consuls, translators, and occasional trouble-makers who forced the State Department to take actions it otherwise would have avoided. Yet as decades passed, more Americans began to question the propriety of missionaries' power. Were missionaries serving the interests of American diplomacy? Or were they creating unnecessary problems? As Emily Conroy-Krutz demonstrates, they were doing both. Across the century, missionaries forced the government to articulate new conceptions of the rights of U.S. citizens abroad and of the role of the United States as an engine of humanitarianism and religious freedom. By the time the United States entered the First World War, missionary diplomacy had for nearly a century created the conditions for some Americans to embrace a vision of their country as an internationally engaged world power. Missionary Diplomacy exposes the longstanding influence of evangelical missions on the shape of American foreign relations.Inaugurated in 1980 and named in 2023 to honor the Cushwa Center’s founding director, the Jay P. Dolan Seminar in American Religion convenes each semester at the University of Notre Dame to discuss a notable book recently published in the field. Along with faculty and graduate students from Notre Dame, scholars from throughout the Midwest travel to campus to attend as invited guests of the Cushwa Center. The featured author engages with two invited commentators as well as the larger group. The Saturday morning seminar is free and open to all. Originally published at cushwa.nd.edu.
