Integral Ecology and Romero Studies Working Groups

Event jointly with Integral Ecology and Romero Studies Working Groups.
The Integral Ecology (IE) Working Group seeks to provide a platform for more focused discussion on the notion of integral ecology, the notion at the heart of Pope Francis’ ecological encyclical Laudato Si’. Francis sees integral ecology as the “integrated approach” which brings together the various dimensions – scientific, economic, cultural, spiritual, political, and educational – in responding to the twin cries of Earth and of the poor.

The Romero Studies Working Group supports scholarly conversations and academic research on the life and work of St. Óscar Romero. Our goal is to bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary, and global community of scholars to engage the significance of Romero’s legacy for today’s world. The Working Group will host regular academic presentations and work-in-progress sessions related to the study of Romero. As a new working group, sessions in the fall 2024 will seek to establish the strongest possible foundation for our work. We will have five sessions focused on “The Future of Romero Studies,” with leading scholars starting our conversations off with their own vision of what academic studies have achieved thus far and what remains the most important avenues for further exploration.
