Writing for the Washington Post, Senior Research Fellow E.J. Dionne, Jr., reflects on how the Christmas holiday serves as a reminder of how much religious and secular people have to teach each other and how these developments help humanity move forward. As an example, he quotes Senior Fellow Rev. David Hollenbach, S.J.'s notion of "intellectual solidarity."

Senior Fellow Jocelyne Cesari has received an honorable mention from the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion's (SSSR) 2023 Distinguished Book Award for her book We God's People: Christianity, Islam and Hinduism in the World of Nations (Cambridge University Press, 2021).

Writing for Conversations on Jesuit Higher Education, Senior Research Fellow Amy Uelmen reflects on a September 2023 essay on Jesuit higher education by Cardinal Blase J. Cupich. Uelmen says exterior demands often overwhelm the capacity to ask deeper questions in a university educational setting. Her remarks are in dialogue with David Quigley and Joseph Marina, S.J.
