Faith, Fiction, and Flourishing:
A Colloquium on Literature and the Life Well Lived
Thursday, November 6 -
Friday, November 7, 2025
Boston College Campus
Please send your title and abstract to psychumanities@bc.edu by June 15, 2025.
At a time when cultural forces seem to be conspiring against slow, attentive engagement with and enjoyment of the poetic arts, it is imperative that those who seek to cultivate a society in which individuals and communities can renew our commitment to the value of literature. Participants in this two-day colloquium will be invited to examine not only how a healthy literary culture contributes to human flourishing but how such a culture might be realized in a world that has largely lost its capacities for wonder, enchantment, and the artfulness of the spiritual living.聽
