Through
a
series of integrated themes and experiences this seminar addresses the
issue of
whether, in an era of rapid globalization, peace and justice might be
achieved,
and how those who take Catholic social teaching seriously might plan a
role in
that process. The students will examine how the values we possess might
interact with political, economic, and social realities to produce
viable strategies
in the future. Particular emphasis will be placed on the prospects for
Christian-Muslim dialogue and the challenges of living in a post 9-11
world.
Students
must
submit an online application (precollege.nd.edu) by February 15,
2008. Enrollment is limited to 40 academically superior Catholic
students
entering their senior year (20 men and 20 women). Criteria for
selection will
include the student’s academic and standardized testing record,
involvement in
extracurricular activities, personal essay, letters of recommendation,
and an
interest in concerns related to Catholic social thought, justice, and
peace.
