Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life

The Dialogue on the intersection of Catholic social teaching and the response to the findings and recommendations of the Working Group on Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation symbolizes progress in addressing a situation that is not unique to Georgetown, while also being intentional about developing a response that is.

This Wednesday, the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life will be hosting an event, titled, “Georgetown, Slavery, and Catholic Social Thought.” In order to prepare the audience—and hopefully not the panelists—with some of the topics that may be discussed, I sat down and chatted with one of the members of the working group, Connor Maytnier. This is an excerpt of our conversation.
