Join the Collegium Institute & The Pontifical Council for Culture as we reflect on Pope Francis' vision in his encyclical, Laudato Si.

How do we develop a culture marked by an ethic of ecological awareness? In Laudato Si, Pope Francis called for an ecological conversion to just such a culture. The ecological conversion he envisions entails more than just tinkering with technology or the economy; rather, we must reshape our sense of culture and society.

Pope Francis has asked that this year in particular be dedicated to a reflection on the continuing importance of Laudato Si. And so in answer to this request, the Collegium Institute for Catholic Thought & Culture has partnered with the Pontifical Council for Culture for a roundtable discussion on developing an ecology of culture. The panel will feature:

Bishop Paul Tighe, Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Culture

Makoto Fujimura, Artist and Founder of IAMCultureCare, author of forthcoming book: Art and Faith: A Theology of Making

Kate Soper, Philosopher and Professor Emerita at London Metropolitan University, author of recent book: Post-Growth Living: For an Alternative Hedonism

Philip Bess, Architect and Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, specializes in Urban Design & Urban and Regional Planning
