The commitment to social justice is often taken as a shorthand expression of the mission of many Catholic colleges and universities. The proposed program seeks to ground faculty understanding of this commitment in the Catholic social tradition, particularly Catholic Social Teachings and the expression of these in the traditions of the Religious Sisters of Mercy and the Society of Jesus, co-sponsors of the University of Detroit Mercy. Participants will learn about an Ignatian way of proceeding as well as the Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy and the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus, expressions of the mission priorities of these communities.
