Lonergan Research Institute - Toronto

The CFP for Lonergan on the Edge officially went out today. Please see the attached poster, as well as the following letter from the organizers.

Dear fellow graduate students,

You are invited to submit a paper proposal for the 2020 Lonergan on the Edge graduate student conference, to take place September 18-19 at Marquette University. This year's theme is "The Art of Authentic Decision-Making," but we are also open to other submissions related to the work of 20th-century theologian and philosopher Bernard Lonergan, SJ. Abstracts are due July 31, 2020.

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Patrick H. Byrne (Boston College) and Dr. Nicholas Olkovich (Corpus Christi College/St. Mark’s College, Vancouver) as our invited speakers.

At this point, we are preparing for the gathering to take place in-person, though options for remote attendance and the possibility of an entirely online conference are being explored. We will keep you updated as decisions are made, but we fully expect the conference to occur in some form.

Please see the attached call for papers for more details, and contact [email protected] with any questions. (For newcomers to Lonergan, or those looking for a place to start, some suggested sources on the conference theme are below.)

Best regards,
Steve Calme, Kathleen Cavender-McCoy, Cecille Medina-Maldonado, and Chris Krall, SJ

The LRI has just received official word that the 47th Annual Lonergan Workshop at Boston College has officially and prudently been cancelled due to concerns regarding COVID-19. Although saddened by this reality, we extend our gratitude to the students and colleagues at Boston College who make the Workshop possible on an annual basis.

Due to inclement weather, the Lonergan Research Institute will be unstaffed today.

Please be advised that due to the snowstorm, Regis College is closing for the day.
