In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the assassination of six Jesuits and two of their collaborators at the Universidad de Centroamerica (UCA) in El Salvador during the country’s civil war, this panel will consider the life struggles and challenges out of which the prominent social justice leadership of Rutillo Grande, Ignacio Ellacuria, and Jon Sobrino emerged. Join us for this reflection on justice, and how educated solidarity and the proyecto social have become central to the work of Ignatian leaders in Jesuit higher education and beyond. Panelists include Kevin Burke, S.J. of the Jesuit School of Theology, Robert Lasselle-Klein of Holy Names University, and Ana Maria Pineda, R.S.M. and Lynette Parker of Santa Clara University.

About the Bannan Institute
Bannan Institutes are yearlong, thematic programs hosted by the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education at Santa Clara University. Each institute features a series of lectures, retreats, and events that address matters of significance within the Jesuit, Catholic Intellectual tradition and seek to foster an ethic of dialogue among persons of diverse philosophical and religious commitments.
Shaped by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the 2014-2015 Bannan Institute will explore the theme of Ignatian Leadership as a vocational practice, or a way of proceeding that seeks to affect personal and communal transformation.
All events are free and open to the public. Please RSVP at www.scu.edu/ic/bannan.
Fall 2014: Leadership and Justice
Educated Solidarity and the Proyecto Social
Leadership within the Ignatian idiom is rooted in a foundational commitment to live out one’s vocation in generous relationship with God for the good of all creation. In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the assassination of the Jesuits and their collaborators at the Universidad de Centroamerica (UCA) in El Salvador, and the 200th anniversary of the restoration of the Society of Jesus, we will consider how the work of educated solidarity and the proyecto social is central to the mission of Jesuit higher education.

See. Judge. Act. Catholic Social Teaching, developed by Roman Catholic leaders as a way to respond to calls for justice in the 20th Century, has used this three-step approach for responding to what popes and bishops call “the signs of the times.” But what if our 21st Century world–with growing issues of economic and social inequality, immigration, violence, and increasingly polarized politics–requires a different tool? in this presentation, Maureen O’Connell explores innovative movements for social justice–such as the JUNTOS Dance Collective, community mural projects, and the new leadership of Pope Francis–and reimagines a new, three-step approach to issues of justice: Encounter. Engage. Create.

Co-sponsored by the Commonwealth Club
In the 2014-15 Bannan Institute series will kick-off with Cornel West, one of the world’s most provocative activists, authors, and philosophers. Come hear West discuss his latest book, Black Prophetic Fire, and offer a fresh perspective on the work of several revolutionary African American leaders of the 19th and 20th centuries. Bemoaning the “‘deodoriz[ing]’ of these radical figures,” West considers anew the impact of men and women–such as Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King, and Ida B. Wells–in their own eras and across the decades, reflecting on the movements of faith and social justice within leadership.
