This one-day interdisciplinary symposium will bring together scholars from disciplines across Notre Dame—including philosophy, theology, English, and the sciences—to discuss the intersection of aesthetics, theology, and catastrophic climate change. The discussions will take Paul Schrader’s film First Reformed as a touchstone, provocation, and common point of reference.
