Michael F. Andrews, the University’s McNerney-Hanson Endowed Chair in Ethics and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, will give a lecture on Edith Stein in the Holy Cross Lounge on the 3rd floor of Franz Hall on Tuesday, February 10, at 7:15 p.m. His talk is free and open to faculty, staff, students, and the public.
Andrews will explore the life of Edith Stein in terms of her understanding of “woman” and “vocation.” Stein was a Jewish philosopher and author who converted to Catholicism before becoming a Carmelite nun, and ultimately perished in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. She was canonized in October 1998.
