Faculty Participate in Commitment to Justice Conference

Released: 10/4/05

Faculty from the department of Educational Policy & Leadership represented Marquette at a conference called “Commitment to Justice.”  The conference was hosted by the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities at John Carroll University in Cleveland , OH from Oct 13-16th and was a follow-up conference to the Justice 2000 meeting held in Santa Clara, CA.

 

The purpose of the Commitment to Justice conference was to examine how the Jesuit commitment to justice, as reflected in Father Peter-Hans Kolvenbach's landmark speech, is lived out in concrete ways in our teaching, research, and other activities at Jesuit institutions.

 

Of particular note are the papers presented by Marquette faculty. One is a paper entitled Deliberating about Dispositions in a Jesuit Teacher Education Program. The paper was presented by Drs. Terry Burant, Sharon Chubbuck, Michelle McClure, and Joan Whipp.

 

Dr. Sharon Chubbuck also presented a paper that she wrote in collaboration with EDPL Graduate Student, Rebecca Lorentz entitled Critical Pedagogy and Ignatian Pedagogy: Piecing Together the Why, the What, and the How of Teaching for Social Justice.
