Beyond the Lecture! • Marina Alessandri, Ph.D.

The Center for Catholic Studies offers a number of lectures every year. They are given by interesting people who draw on the Catholic intellectual tradition to speak to students, faculty, staff, and community. Jason King, the Director of the Center for Catholic Studies, sits down with these individuals to talk about their background, how they came to their insights on the Catholic intellectual tradition, and where they see the future of Catholicism. This conversation is Beyond the Lecture!
