Location

Boston College Campus


Call for Proposals

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
