Call for Papers
ACWR welcomes proposals from its members, historians, archivists, congregational leaders, and all others. Single-presenter sessions, panel discussions, workshop sessions, lightning rounds, and roundtables will all be considered. Sessions will be divided into two tracks, one dedicated to basics and the other a deeper look at developing trends and practices.
Call for Posters
ACWR is offering participants the opportunity to present their work in a poster session on the topics of ecological activism and integral ecology. Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical, boldly stated the need to care for our common home in the face of climate change. For many years, women religious have embraced integral ecology and used their ministries to promote sustainability and stewardship. Let’s showcase their work from the past and the present!
