This conversation will provide a forum for rich dialogue about evidence-based solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing today's vulnerable youth. Hosted by the Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child (GC-DWC), this panel conversation features professor and director of the GC-DWC, Neil Boothby, in conversation with Dr. Carrie Quinn, pediatrician and executive director of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center and co-chair of the University of Notre Dame’s (UND) For Good Initiative, and Wendy Angst, professor and director of the Powerful Means Initiative and Impact Consulting Minor at UND’s Mendoza College of Business. All three panelists serve children and their families in different vocational capacities, but their work is aligned by the science of early childhood development (ECD) and how it complements Catholic social teaching. The conversation will touch on various themes such as Notre Dame’s unique position to be a strong agent of global change in unifying scientific knowledge with the wisdom of the church, strategies to bolster ECD programs for children enduring crisis, and how Catholic Social Teaching underscores the imperative to cater to marginalized children, while scientific insights guide the methodologies to achieve this. The event’s conversation will provide a forum for rich dialogue about evidence-based solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing today’s vulnerable youth.
