The School of Humanities at Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) will host The Irish Centre for Faith and Culture's two-day symposium entitled The Divided Self: Addiction and Recovery in a Secular Age on 4 and 5 February in WIT's main campus.
Founded in 1997 the Irish Centre for Faith and Culture seeks to explore and understand the multiple interactions between Christian Faith and contemporary culture. It hosts symposia that foster creative dialogue between Faith, theology, and a range of disciplines on the horizons of dialogue. Recent topics have included migration, the Arts, religious practice in a post-secular world, and disability.
The speakers this year include:
Dr Shane Butler (Associate Professor in the School of Social Work & Social Policy, Trinity College, Dublin)
Professor Michael A. Conway (Professor of Faith and Culture at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth)
Professor Christopher C.H. Cook (Professor in the Department of Theology & Religion at Durham University)
Dr Niamh Maguire (Criminal Law and Criminology, Waterford Institute of Technology)
