Berkley Center

A multiyear project on the Jesuits and globalization culminated in several convenings and a major edited book. The center’s program on the Church and Nuclear Issues addressed a critical and understudied dimension of religion and international affairs. 

In recent years the center has made Pope Francis’ call to a culture of encounter a focus of research and outreach activities, in close coordination with Vatican partners and Georgetown’s newly established Rome Office. The center also supports a scholarly project on Catholicism in Asia and hosts the Women Faith Leaders Fellowship, which supports education and training for Catholic sisters and future leaders across the African continent.
