CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING WORKSHOP

Guided by the teachings of St. Augustine and Villanova’s mission statement, the Office for Mission and Ministry offers a syllabus development workshop on Catholic Social Teaching. Open to all full-time and adjunct faculty members, “Adapting Ourselves and Our Methods: Incorporating CST into the Classroom” provides faculty with training in Catholic Social Teaching and tools for incorporating CST into their courses. This workshop will allow interested faculty from any discipline or department to intertwine their teaching more deeply with Villanova’s bedrock principles. 

Prior to the workshop, faculty members will submit a syllabus they want to revise to incorporate Catholic Social Teaching. The readings for will be a combination of Magisterial documents on the day’s theme and related scholarly readings. The schedule includes:

• Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching
• Human Dignity
• Solidarity
• Common Good
• Subsidiarity
