Catholic Research Resources Alliance Symposium at DePaul Oct. 15-16
Please join us on October 15 and 16, 2012 at DePaul University in the city of Chicago for a fall symposium co-sponsored by the Catholic Research Resources Alliance (CRRA) and DePaul University.
Our participants – scholars, librarians, and archivists – will explore the multifaceted issue of social justice in the Church and in Catholic history and the way in which resources reflecting this multifaceted issue can be used in support of teaching, learning, scholarship, and service. Beyond this, we will discuss broader issues related to Catholic scholarship and collections, how we can advance the CRRA’s mission to provide enduring global access to Catholic research and resources, and how scholars find and use these resources.
The symposium will feature speakers actively engaged in working for peace and justice, curators of social action collections, and scholars mining the papers of Catholic social activists for research and curricular use.
Additional highlights of the symposium include an exclusive screening of “A Question of Habit,” by filmmaker Bren Murphy, Associate Professor, School of Communication, Loyola University Chicago, will introduce her film and a Q&A session will follow; a poster session; a discussion of CRRA’s program to enhance access to Catholic newspapers in the U.S. and Canada, a reception in the new DePaul Art Museum, and dine-arounds at some of Chicago’s best restaurants.
