+ Read MoreConsider personal responsibility and the common good alongside professors from various disciplines at the Braniff Graduate School as they comment on and then lead a discussion of how their disciplines help us to understand this important topic.
As a point of departure in discussing the relationship of our liberal arts education to personal responsibility and the common good, we will consider the social teaching of the Catholic Church, for, as is manifest in its Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, published in 2005, no other institution has as comprehensive an approach to personal responsibility and the common good. Such teaching is, indeed, only a point of departure, for one can question its sufficiency and must question how it is best put into practice. With this in mind, each professor is asked to consider the question of personal responsibility and the common good from the vantage point of what she or he has learned from her or his own discipline so that in our discussion their insights may be placed in dialogue with the Christian teaching.
Socialize with Braniff Graduate School faculty, staff, students and alumni. Light appetizers and drinks will be served prior to the panel discussion.
Discuss with a panel of Braniff Graduate School faculty the relationship of our liberal arts education to Catholic social teaching.
