The Vatican and its various bodies are not only heading the Catholic Church but also disseminating thinking and advancing work in different social policy themes. Amongst those, ecology and peacebuilding are discussed here. But how does that work?

Our host, Baudouin de Hemptinne, is joined in this episode by Professor Joshtrom Kureethadam and Professor Gerard Powers. Kureethadam is heading the Dicastery for Integral Development and is Chair of Philosophy of Science and Director at the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome. He has been a researcher at Berkeley and Oxford and published various books on ecology. Professor Powers is the director of Catholic Peacebuilding studies at the Kroc Institute at the University of Notre Dame in the US. He is a very respected scholar in peacebuilding, religion, and conflict studies. Both have an extensive understanding of the Churches’ work in thought leadership on the ground.

This episode is hosted, conceptualised, and researched by Baudouin de Hemptinne with the help of Melinda Davis; and produced by Annelisse Escobar, Vitor Tomaz, and Gloria Wawira. To keep up with our latest episodes, follow us on Instagram @oxfordpolicypod_.
