SUMMARY:Reinterpreting History in an Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Nationalism\, populism\, and resurgent racism have combined in a toxic political and cultural stew around the world to challenge established patterns of civic dialogue and interrupt the natural evolution of democracy. In response\, monuments are toppling\, schools and buildings are being renamed\, and historical memory itself has come under review and regulation in some countries. \nJoin public players from the United Kingdom\, Hungary\, Singapore\, and Charlottesville\, Virginia\, in a virtual transatlantic dialogue about the reexamination of reputations and settling of scores that may have serious consequences for free speech and international understanding in the years ahead. The conversation will be moderated by Professor Michael Scott\, senior dean and Fellow at Blackfriars Hall\, the University of Oxford\, and Sanford J.

SUMMARY:A Christian Approach to Corporate Religious Liberty - Book launch
DESCRIPTION:Blackfriars Oxford is hosting a panel discussion of A Christian Approach to Corporate Religious Liberty\, a new book by Blackfriars JRF\,  Edward A. David\, featuring: \nBrett Bertucio\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \nEdward A. David\, University of Oxford \nRobert J. Matava\, Christendom College \nModerated by Rev Dr Bruno Clifton OP\, this event is sponsored by the Senior Common Room at Blackfriars Hall\, in partnership with the Las Casas Institute for Social Justice. \n  \nThis online event is free and open to the public.\nRegister here. \n  \n\nAbout the book: \nOne of the most contentious issues in American law involves the extension of religious freedoms to corporate entities. A Christian Approach to Corporate Religious Liberty argues that religious freedoms should extend to houses of worship as well as for-profit corporations\, albeit to different degrees. Whilst not a radically new proposal\, this position is reached through novel means—one that views groups as occasions of coordinated activity and the Church (specifically the invisible Church) as a supernatural person. This group-ontological approach helps solve a number of moral puzzles associated with a new—and controversial—form of religious liberty. \nSpeakers: \nEdward A. David is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford. His research investigates the empirical and moral dimensions of character development amongst leaders in the technology\, legal and financial services sectors. Edward also works in the growing field of law and religion. He has published in The Oxford Journal of Law and Religion\, and his monograph\, A Christian Approach to Corporate Religious Liberty\, was recently released by Palgrave Macmillan (2020). Bridging the gap between academia and industry\, Edward serves as an academic consultant for the Goldman Sachs 10\,000 Small Businesses UK programme\, and is a lead author of the Goldman Sachs 10\,000 Women programme on Coursera. \nBrett Bertucio is the Avner S. Barr Dissertation Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA)\, where he is finishing his doctoral dissertation in the Education Policy Studies and Curriculum & Instruction departments. Brett’s research examines how American judges\, curriculum developers\, and educators understand church-state relations. Brett is a former fellow of the Religious Freedom Center in Washington DC\, and his work has been published in First Things as well as in numerous academic journals\, including Education Theory\, Monastic Education\, Philosophical Inquiry in Education\, Social Studies Education\, Studies in Philosophy and Education\, and The Journal of Law and Religion. \nRobert J. Matava is an Associate Professor of Theology and the Dean of the Graduate School at Christendom College (USA). Robert works at the intersection of philosophical theology\, Christian doctrine\, and moral theory. He is the author of Divine Causality and Human Free Choice: Domingo Báñez\, Physical Premotion and the Controversy de Auxiliis Revisited (Brill\, 2016). He was the Liddon Fellow in Theology at Keble College\, University of Oxford\, and a fellow of the Center for Medieval Philosophy at Georgetown University. He received the Founder’s Award from the Society for Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy in 2009. Robert has published essays in the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly\, the American Journal of Jurisprudence\, Cuadernos de pensamiento Español\, and Studies in Christian Ethics. He sits on the board of directors for the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars\, and has delivered research and popular presentations across the US and Europe. \n
