Laudato Si at 5: Economy, Ecology with Prof. Richard L. Wood

To commemorate the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si: Care for our Common Home, we invited UNM Sociology Prof. Richard L. Wood to share from his background of sociology of religion, social theory,democratic life and struggle for justice in United States.

This Zoom presentation contains Dr. Wood’s reflection, which touches on such themes as the role of ancient prophets to convey God’s love for creation alongside righteous anger and our society’s focus on consumption and production (not only on resources but on our time). The session is followed by a question and answer session. We will post a partial transcript in coming days.
