About the Discussion: Anticipating Pope Francis’ historic visit to the United States, a multidisciplinary panel of º£½ÇÉçÇø faculty shared their perspectives on his encyclical letter, “Laudato si’: On Care for Our Common Home,” released in May. Each professor shared responses to the encyclical through the lens of their own discipline. They also outlined steps º£½ÇÉçÇø has taken to address climate change, as well as suggestions for individual and political action.
This event was co-sponsored by the McFarland Center and Environmental Studies.
