The Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies and its collaborating partners at the University of Lisbon and the Italian German Historical Institute, invite you to join informal conversations with the world’s preeminent scholars working on the history, spirituality, and educational heritage of the Society of Jesus. These discussions – hosted by the Institute over coffee and available via Zoom videoconference on the third Thursday of the month – are unique opportunities to learn more about the newest and most interesting scholarship in Jesuit Studies. If you have any questions, please contact the Institute (iajs@bc.edu).
If you would like to attend a café via videoconference, please register, and you will receive information on how to access the online meeting space 24 hours before the discussion.
