Letter from the Secretary (5/4/2009)

Dear All,

As the semester roils to a halt, a few announcements regarding the Lonergan Society here at Marquette:

1) We won’t be meeting again this semester, but I’ll soon be scheduling readings for the next academic year. If anyone has suggestions on what they would like to read from Lonergan next year, please email me!

2) If anyone has any lingering desires to go to the workshop out at Boston this June, it’s not too late! Let me or Jeremy know.

3) AND….(drumroll please)….we now have, courtesy of the magnificent Anne Carpenter, our very own Lonergan Society website. It has a short blurb about our group, a links page, and a place for all announcements and news. Check it out at http://lonergansociety.wordpress.com/ Right up on the front page right now you’ll see our call for papers for the Lonergan on the Edge conference that we are hosting this September 18-20. The site looks great and will serve us well–thank you, Anne!

Best end-of-semester wishes,
Juli

Lonergan on the Edge Lives Again!

Out of a desire to continue a good idea and to support graduate student scholarship in Lonergan, the Lonergan Society at Marquette University will be hosting a renewed incarnation of “Lonergan on the Edge,” a graduate student conference formerly held at Regis College, Toronto. There is no specific theme, but as before the general tenor of the event will consist in an emphasis on the genus “Lonergan and…” The organizers are particularly interested in proposals that focus on areas not or rarely explored by Lonergan scholarship, although more typical applications of or investigations into Lonergan’s work will be welcomed, as well.

The event will be held September 18-20, 2009, on the campus of Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Submissions should be in the form of a 1-page, double-spaced proposal outlining the project.

Proposals should be sent to Juli Vazquez at juliana.vazquez@marquette.edu no later than Friday, July 3, 2009.
