A Conference Sponsored by the Francis and Ann Curran Center for American Catholic Studies, Fordham University Co-Sponsored by the New York Province, Society of Jesus, The Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Fordham.
In a tribute to Father Fitzpatrick delivered shortly after his death in 1995, the sociologist Kenneth Westhues explained that the Jesuit sociologist explored “the interplay between knowledge and practice, thought and action, values and facts…he did not at all fit the bill of a specialist in the sociology of ethnicity or religion, as understood in the professional mainstream. His conception of sociology, and of himself as a sociologist, remained rooted in the older, activist, Catholic tradition.”
Our conference examined and celebrated this tradition through exploration of Father Fitzpatrick's scholarly, pastoral and activist work and its implications for the present.
