What Would Ignatius Tweet? Jesuit Education, Political Polarization, and Today’s Controversies
Monday, March 28
6:30 p.m.
Zoom
Survey after survey tells us that Americans disagree more than ever before, viscerally and sometimes even violently. At a moment when issues like LGBTQ+ rights, religious freedom, racial and economic justice, and even the rules of democracy seem to be up for debate, can Fordham’s Jesuit tradition offer wisdom? Join Patrick Hornbeck, D.Phil., interim dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, theology professor, and J.D. student (LAW ’22), for a conversation about what Ignatius of Loyola might say about our world today.
The conversation will be moderated by Jesuit scholastic and FUAA board member Jake Braithwaite, S.J., GABELLI '11, GSAS '15.
