The Brueggeman Center for Dialogue and the Ethics/Religion & Society Program invite you to attend Xavier University’s Inaugural Laudato Sí Lecture by Dr. Nancy Tuchman, Founding Dean of the School of Environmental Sustainability at Loyola University in Chicago: April 26, 2023 at 7 pm in the Conaton Board Room in Schmidt Hall on the campus of Xavier University. Laudato Sí refers to Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical and his subsequent call (the Laudato Sí Action Plan) for people of good will to create and implement plans that will promote care for the Earth, our common home.
Dr. Tuchman chairs the International Association of Jesuit Universities’ (IAJU) Task Force on Environmental & Economic Justice and she co-edits the Jesuits’ free online environmental science textbook Healing Earth, which received the inaugural Expanded Reason Award from Pope Francis and the Vatican in 2017.
Dr. Tuchman will speak on “The Role of Jesuit Universities in Advancing Laudato Sí.”
