Book Launch: Learning the Language of Creation

Join us 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. Panel discussants are Jennifer Tank (Biological Sciences) and Diogo Bolster (Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences) with Ryan Juskus (Institute for Social Concerns) moderating the panel.

Local foods will be served.

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.
