Join Dr Vincent Manning and the Irish Institute for Catholic Studies as they discuss making faith sense of HIV.

The IICS is an interdisciplinary research centre inspired by and in critical dialogue with Catholic culture and thought. We explore the long and rich Catholic tradition in a spirit of scholarly rigour and academic freedom. We engage with the intellectual contribution of Catholicism to philosophical, theological, educational and social debates, past and present, as well as the expression and embodiment of a Catholic sensibility in fine arts, literature, architecture and music. We engage with contemporary global realities and are dedicated to research and dialogue in the following key areas:

• Social & environmental justice

• Catholic Theology

• The Arts & Culture

• Catholic Religious Education

Our Aims

• Promote interdisciplinary, high-quality academic research related to Catholic Studies.

• Contribute to historical, intellectual, philosophical and theological understandings of Catholicism as a religion and social movement with a focus on the common good and human dignity.

• Contribute to the academic understanding of Catholic identity through our focus on social justice and sustainability.

• Disseminate knowledge of Catholics and Catholicism through publications, conferences, public lectures, symposia, and public dialogue.

The Irish Institute for Catholic Studies runs a popular public lecture series on Microsoft Teams. Stay updated with our 2021-2022 schedule of free public events on the IICS Twitter page.
