The Theology Workshop is pleased to invite you to the first of our papers for the year on Monday (10/17) from 12:00-1:30 in Swift 201. Brett Colasacco, a Ph.D. student in History of Christianity, will present remarks based on his paper “A Patron Saint for Post-Humanism?  Francis of Assisi, Deep Ecology, and the Political Order.” Unlike in previous years, the presentation will be approximately 25 minutes and will not presume any preparation on the part of participants. However, the paper is available through the Theology Workshop listserve or by emailing Kyle Rader at kgr@uchicago.edu, and we encourage participants who are able to read it in advance.

Daniel Schultz, Ph.D. student in Philosophy of Religions, will give a prepared response. The floor will then be open to everyone for questions, feedback, and discussion. A light lunch will be provided.
