Suzanne Mulligan is a Professor of the Practice at the Center for Social Concerns. She comes to the Center with 19 years of university experience, teaching at both the Milltown Institute, Dublin and the Pontifical University, Maynooth, Ireland before moving to Notre Dame. She has taught extensively across a range of subjects within Catholic Moral Theology, but the social doctrine of the Church is her primary area of expertise. She is the former Editor of the Irish Theological Quarterly, and is a member of the Planning Committee of Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church. Professor Mulligan currently writes and teaches on topics such as the common good, homelessness, poverty and inequality, HIV/AIDS, and gender violence. Her latest book, Dwelling with Dignity: Catholic Social Teaching and Homelessness (2025, Liturgical Press), critically assesses the housing crisis through the lens of CST, and considers on how foundational concepts like human dignity, the common good, and integral human development help to enrich and reshape current housing debates.
