Jesuit Studies Café - Spring 2025
The Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies and its collaborating partners at the University of Lisbon and the Italian-German Historical Institute at the Bruno Kessler Foundation, 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 at the Institute over coffee and also available via Zoom videoconference – are unique opportunities to learn more about the newest and most interesting scholarship in Jesuit Studies.
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. Please contact the Institute with any questions or if you wish to join or lead a café in the future ().
