The Archdiocese of Cincinnati is pleased to announce the upcoming "Seeking for a City" Symposium on Fr. Clarence Rivers and “What We Have Seen and Heard" November 22-24 at the University of Dayton's Curran place.
In-person presenters are sought for the Symposium at University of Dayton who will:
- Thoughtfully synthesize our two guiding themes of the event—the impact of “What We Have Seen and Heard” and the life and legacy of Fr. Rivers—from their areas of expertise such as theology, liturgy, music, history, art, literature, catechetics, etc.;
- Engage Symposium participants in active learning and reflection on these themes (workshops or presentations are sought, rather than papers);
- Craft and deliver an in-person presentation offering innovative perspectives and scholarship on these themes, demonstrating their continued relevance;
- Be a present and active participant in all Symposium events (Friday-Sunday morning) as possible. (Funds will be provided for travel; see below.)
Please submit a 300-500 word proposal for an interactive Workshop or Breakout session of approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes in length, along with a 100-word biographical statement, via email to Emily Strand
emilykcstrand@gmail.com and Dr. Cecilia Moore
cmoore1@udayton.edu.
Resources: Access to Fr. Rivers’ written works can be made available upon request.
Funding: Those selected for Workshops or Breakout presentations will receive funds for travel, paid accommodations, airport transportation and travel to the Mass in Cincinnati, as well as a modest honorarium.
