Pacem in Terris Colloquium

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

The core purpose of the Pacem in Terris 60 Years colloquium is to explore the thematic peace and justice issues that have been addressed by modern Catholic social thought, especially those within the encyclical such as human rights, political structures, ecumenism and environmentalism. In order to garner original and creative insights from the speakers, they are being asked to address the gaps that exist within the document and how the Church today can move forward in the promotion of peace and justice in our pluralistic world. This colloquium is connected to the Justice Sown in Peace: Celebrating 60 Years Since Pacem in Terris Conference, and is not a lecture course. Students are expected to participate in the conference and attend at least 4 of the 5 keynote lectures and keynote panels (schedule will be on conference website socialconcerns.nd.edu/cst2023). Full participation in the conference is strongly encouraged. Participation in the conference will constitute 60% of the grade. Students need to register for the conference (there is no cost for students). Conference registration (in addition to registering for the course) is mandatory for participation in this colloquium.
