Berkley Center

Georgetown University's Office of the President and the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, in partnership with American Jewish Committee, recently commemorated the sixtieth anniversary of Nostra Aetate with a conference that brought together faith leaders to reflect on its enduring impact in Catholic-Jewish relations and broader interreligious understanding. 

Senior Fellow Jocelyne Cesari has been recognized by the American Political Science Association for her groundbreaking scholarship which continues to shape how scholars and policymakers understand the role of faith in global affairs. 

Berkley Center Senior Fellow Paul Elie will participate in an online talk on September 17 with the Joan and Bill Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage at Loyola University Chicago. 

An article in Catholic Standard highlighted the recent trip by Berkley Center Director Thomas Banchoff and Georgetown University students to Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the eightieth anniversary of the bombings. The group from Georgetown were joined by others from Catholic universities around the world to participate in events and dialogue that promote interreligious understanding and advocate for a world without nuclear weapons.
