Join the Institute for Social Concerns for the launch of Sister Damien Marie Savino’s book Learning the Language of Creation: Catholic Social Teaching and Integral Ecology, the fifth volume in the institute’s Enacting Catholic Social Tradition series. There will be a panel discussion with Jennifer Tank (Biological Sciences), Diogo Bolster (Biological Sciences), and Ryan Juskus (Institute for Social Concerns) followed by a Q&A with the author.
In Learning the Language of Creation, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.
