Loyola Partnership with Caring for Our Common Home: Conversations on Ecology & Justice

Join the Loyola University Chicago community on September 9, 2015 for a day-long series of events responding to, reflecting upon, and enacting the recent encyclical from Pope Francis on the environment - Laudato Si.

The day's events will include paper presentations and panel discussions from scholars and activists from across the disciplines at LUC, a town hall discussion about the role and future of sustainability at LUC, and an afternoon teach-in on the West Quad which will include spoken word and musical performances, an Ignatian examen, tabling from student and community groups, and more!

In response to Laudato Si, Dance Majors will perform structured movement improvisations exploring despair and hope to two Paul Caldwell pieces sung by the Loyola University Chorale, conducted by Kirsten Hedegaard. 

This event will be held on September 9 from 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM on the 4th floor of the Klarchek Information Commons (IC).  There will also be a teach-in held on the West Quad from 4:30-6:30 PM.  In the event of rain, the teach-in will be moved to the Damen Student Center Atrium.
