Beyond Patriarchy: Women and Lay Leadership
This final session in a series based on the forthcoming publication Catholic Higher Education in Light of Catholic Social Thought engages the origins of Catholic colleges and universities, founded by religious congregations and dioceses; with the social structures and leadership styles established by those origins and persisting to varying degrees today; with the great changes in Catholic higher education since the 1960s, not least the increasing roles and responsibilities of lay men and women; with remaining obstacles to the full participation of lay people, especially women; and with the responsibilities of Catholic colleges and universities, in light of CST, to identify and overcome those obstacles. Featuring Catherine Punsalan-Manlimos with a response from Kathleen Maas Weigert.
