Gender is today’s hottest issue, causing division and widespread confusion about one of the most fundamental aspects of human life – what it means to be man or woman. The University of St. Thomas’s Nesti Center for Faith & Culture believes the path forward is found in the truths of the Catholic faith. UST will launch the only Master of Arts in Catholic Women’s and Gender Studies in the world that offers the riches of Church tradition and an authentically Catholic philosophy and theology of the human person. The program brings together top contemporary thinkers such as internationally recognized Catholic speaker and theologian Dr. Pia de Solenni, Erika Bachiochi, Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and Arina Grossu Agnew, bioethicist and Fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism. The program will welcome students for the first time in the Fall of 2024.
UST will hold a live virtual press conference on Tuesday, May 21 at Noon EDT to celebrate the official launch of the Master of Arts degree in Catholic Women’s and Gender Studies. It will feature Leah Jacobson, Program Coordinator for the Nesti Center for Faith & Culture, Dr. Kevin Stuart, Director of the Nesti Center for Faith & Culture, and select program faculty. Registration is required.
