This coming Thursday, June 11 and Friday, June 12 Pusey House’s Centre for Theology, Law, and Culture is hosting a conference to commemorate Alasdair MacIntyre (1929–2025): ‘MacIntyre in the Conflicts of Modernity’. This conference is organised in partnership with the Canterbury Institute and the Aquinas Institute at Blackfriars Hall.

Most of the conference will take place at Campion Hall and Christ Church but Pusey House does, however, have the privilege to host two keynote lectures.

‘MacIntyrean Insights for the Leonine Era’ - Prof Tracey Rowland, St John Paul II Chair of Theology, University of Notre Dame, Australia, on Thursday, 4pm.

‘Last of the Utopians: Alasdair MacIntyre as Radical Humanist’ - Prof Jason Blakely, Professor of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University, on Friday, 4pm.

Each keynote will be followed directly by Evensong in the Pusey House chapel at 5:30pm. The preacher for Thursday evening is Fr Nick Austin SJ, and the preacher for Friday is Fr Richard Conrad OP.
