About this listen

This podcast comes to you as part of the “Collaborative Inquiries in Theological Anthropology” project funded by the John Templeton Foundation and Villanova University. The Collaborative Inquiries Project has assembled a community of research fellows, mentors, and scientific advisers who are working together over a three-year period. Our aim is to stimulate innovative scholarship within theology that engages with cutting-edge scientific research relevant to topics and debates within contemporary theology. Our hope is that this scholarship will have a lasting effect on the contemporary theological landscape.  

This podcast series will introduce you the listeners to the Collaborative Inquiries project fellows and mentors as well as other established scholars whose research deals with topics such as human nature, virtues and vices, economics, race, disability, memory, human psychology, sin, and grace. We hope that they will be illuminating!

    The Collaborative Inquiries Podcast is back! In this episode, Dr Christiana Zenner discusses the "Anthropocene" - what that term denotes in the environmental humanities, and how the language we use to understand humanity's relationship with the natural world continues to evolve. Specifically, Dr Zenner's work explores how fresh water is a nexus of human activity's impact on the planet, human rights, our day-to-day experience of life, and the Catholic theological tradition.

In this episode, Paul Scherz describes his work in genetics, why he switched fields to study moral theology, and how trends in entrepreneurial science and probabilistic risk analysis should be addressed by theologians.
