Join the Ignatian Center's Bannan Forum for an interreligious panel on ecological and social justice. Panelists will discuss various traditions' views on creation and humanity's place within creation, as well as the social and ecological responsibilities that flow from these views, including:
- the place of humans within creation in spiritual or religious traditions
- the implications of different theologies/philosophies of creation and humanity

Dr. Julie Hanlon Rubio and Dr. Gerald J. Beyer will discuss how Catholic social teaching might shape university responses to current pressing issues, including worker justice, diversity and inclusion, and admissions/financial aid. As universities, including SCU, confront the challenge of Covid-19 in the context of increasing corporatization of higher education, Rubio and Beyer will ask, "What would a just university look like?
