Lecture — "Fruit of the Earth and Work of Human Hands: Eucharist as (and) Integral Ecology"
Wednesday, April 3, 2024 4:30–5:45 PM
- Location
- DescriptionIn the lecture, Emmanuel Katongole will offer the fifth in a six-part series called "The Only Solution is Love: The Eucharist and Catholic Social Teaching." This fifth lecture will highlight the connections between Eucharist and ecology with a view of making two interconnected claims, namely (1) that an adequate understanding of the Eucharist intensifies and shapes the Christian responsibility for the care of Our Common Home, and (2) that efforts for the care of our Common home are Eucharistic in more than a symbolic sense. They are truly a sacrament (sign and reality) of God’s love for the earth. Drawing from the work of Bethany Land Institute in Uganda, he will display the dynamic relationship between these two claims. For more information, please click here.

- Apr 411:00 AMThe 26th Annual Dialogues on Nonviolence, Religion and PeaceThe Kroc Institute has selected Traci C. West as the featured speaker for the 26th Annual Dialogues on Nonviolence, Religion, and Peace, presenting “Racism, Gender Violence, and Hypocrisies of Christian Love and Peace." A scholar-activist serving as James W. Pearsall Professor of Christian Social Ethics and African American Studies at Drew University Theological School (NJ), Dr. West’s teaching, research, and activism focus on gender, racial, and sexuality justice, with a focus on gender violence. Christianity espouses a core commitment to love and peace, yet hypocrisies persist related to racism and gender violence. Christian public claims can seemingly turn a blind eye to this incongruence, which then preserves it. Dr. West will address the costs associated by not acknowledging hypocrisies, the courage needed to call them out because of the risk involved, and use of historical narratives and lived experiences of antiracist gender justice as tools to help us do so. Lunch and conversation will follow this lecture in C103, Hesburgh Center for International Studies. The Dialogues on Nonviolence, Religion, and Peace, which began in 1999, were established through a gift to the Kroc Institute from Mrs. Anne Marie Yoder and her family. Each year, the Kroc Institute invites a leading thinker, writer, scholar, and/or peace advocate to deliver a lecture related to nonviolence, religion, and peace. Following the lecture, audience members join in informal dialogue and discussion with the speaker and with each other. Originally published at kroc.nd.edu.
- Apr 43:30 PMLecture — “‘I Believe Colonists will Always Call Ireland by this Name of “Home”’: Adapting to a New Home Abroad within the Irish Diaspora”As part of the Keough-Naughton Institute's spring 2024 speaker series, Sophie Cooper, lecturer in Liberal Arts at Queen's University, Belfast, will give a lecture titled “‘I Believe Colonists will Always Call Ireland by this Name of “Home”’: Adapting to a New Home Abroad within the Irish Diaspora.” Focusing on Irish migrants during the nineteenth and early twentieth century, this lecture draws together research from Cooper's book and recent work on belonging and the built environment. It will explore some of the ways that a sense of belonging, or a sense of “home,” was created and facilitated abroad. For some in diasporic communities, this was related to the people that they surrounded themselves with, for others, it was the physical changes that they made to the world around them. This research, therefore, examines how lay and religious communities worked together, and in parallel, to make a new “home from home” across different generations. Speaker Biography Sophie Cooper is subject lead and a lecturer in Liberal Arts at Queen’s University Belfast. Her 2022 book, Forging Identities in the Irish World: Melbourne and Chicago, c.1830-1922, was published by Edinburgh University Press and was awarded the 2023 American Conference for Irish Studies' Lawrence J. McCaffrey Prize for Books on Irish America. Originally published at irishstudies.nd.edu.
