The Jesuit University in a Broken World: An Academic Conversation

"Since the beginning of academia, Academic Freedom and Censorship have always been a topic of conversation. Will professors get in trouble for teaching something? What are they allowed to teach? Who decides what we learn and what is censored?

Based on an article written by Dean Brackley S.J. called "The Jesuit University in a Broken World", we will explore the 7 standards of a Jesuit Education and how they relate to the topics of a Jesuit Education and Academic Freedom in 2025. To prepare students for academia, research, and enhance their Jesuit education inside and outside the classroom, we will host a conversation of different professors and students who will share their opinions on academics in the Jesuit Tradition through their work on campus.

Ideas will also be offered on how Loyola can continue their Jesuit Value of Academic Excellence in these consistently changing times and allow it to become a lifelong learner. We will see how we can use our Jesuit Education to heal a Broken World.
