Curriculum Development Workshop
June 8-12, 2009

The goal of the workshop is to promote the incorporation of Catholic social teaching into existing course syllabi and the development of new courses with a significant Catholic social teaching component. The workshop is open to all teaching faculty. We welcome scholars without regard to religious belief, particularly junior faculty and younger scholars to whom Catholic social teaching may be unfamiliar.
