Join us for the 2026 L.P. Mousseau Ethics Lecture with Prof. Jennifer Newsome Martin.
Jennifer Newsome Martin is the John J. Cavanaugh Associate Professor of the Humanities in the Department of Theology and the Program of Liberal Studies at the University of Notre Dame, as well as the director of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture. She is a Catholic systematic theologian with particular expertise in theological aesthetics, John Henry Newman, Hans Urs von Balthasar, religion and literature, and the nature of religious tradition. Her first book, Hans Urs von Balthasar and the Critical Appropriation of Russian Religious Thought (University of Notre Dame Press, 2015) was one of 10 winners internationally of the 2017 Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise. Over twenty-five articles and book chapters have appeared in such venues as Modern Theology, Communio: International Catholic Review, The Newman Studies Journal, International Journal of Systematic Theology, and in edited volumes and collections of essays. She serves on the editorial boards of Religion & Literature, Communio, and the University of Notre Dame Press as well as on the board of directors for Theological Studies.
This event is held in person at the lovely Lumen Christi Catholic Education Centre.
It promises to be a night of insight and challenging questions.
