Catholic Social & Political Thought Initiative

The Catholic Social & Political Thought initiative is devoted to the investigation of the Catholic tradition of social and political thought. The UW-Madison has a rich history of initiatives that facilitate discussion within various religious traditions: the Lubar Institute for the Study of Abrahamic Religions, the Mosse/Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies, the Center for Religion and Global Citizenry, the Religious Studies Program, and Upper House. This initiative continues this ecumenical and public spirited tradition by promoting the teaching, research, and investigation of the Catholic tradition of social and political thought by engaging a mainstream and diverse audience, both secular and religious.
