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.
