Rome, Italy
The bi-annual Makarios conference is a joint undertaking of the Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry at Australian Catholic University (ACU), the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University, the Boston College Colloquy in Historical Theology (BCHT), and Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion. The conference promotes research and discussion of the relationship between Christianity and human flourishing in historical and contemporary perspective, and across the humanities and social sciences.
This inaugural Makarios conference aims to convene scholars from theology, philosophy, history, and the social sciences to explore the past, present, and future of Christianity’s complex engagement with character and virtue. The conference will include plenary and concurrent sessions, and will be hosted at ACU’s Rome campus, with meals and accommodation provided for all participants on-site. We anticipate the registration fee will be in the neighborhood of $150 USD.
