Semestral Doctoral Colloquium

Each semester the Department of Theology invites a notable theologian to address and engage in lively debate with faculty members and doctoral students. While attendance is expected of all Ph.D. students, other graduate students are also welcome.

An exhaustive list of  past speakers at the colloquium is currently being compiled.

For the Spring semester 2010 our guest is Dr. William Thompson-Uberuaga, retired Professor Emeritus at Duquesne University. In the Fall of 2009 we welcomed Dr. Gregory Baum (McGill University).
