  3. Reflecting on Pope Francis' dedication to the immigrant community

    "Throughout his papacy, he tried very clearly to show that focusing on migrants was a way of focusing on the message of Jesus Christ, that what you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me," said Luis Fraga, director of the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame.

  5. Outstanding Academic Titles 2024: English Literature

    (Eileen) Hunt (Political Science, Univ. of Notre Dame) is unusual, almost unique, in practicing serious literary criticism outside of a literature department. She brings political theory to bear on Mary Shelley in this last installment of a critical trilogy that started with 'Mary Shelley and the Rights of the Child' (CH, Jul’18, 55-3919) and was followed by 'Artificial Life after Frankenstein' (2020).

  6. A Chapter Closes: Hong Kong’s Democratic Party to Disband

    “They tried to present to people in power: This is what you promised us, so you have to honor it,” said Victoria Hui, a political scientist at the University of Notre Dame, who drafted speeches for Mr. Lee in the early 1990s. “For so long, they took for granted that those words would protect us.”

  7. China's Rare-Earth Riposte

    Others say the U.S. is unlikely to face major shortages of the rare earths in question. Eugene Gholz , a professor at the University of Notre Dame who previously advised the Pentagon on manufacturing policy, says there should be ample supply of the seven minerals on global markets because significant trade in rare earths happens outside Chinese government control. “Much of it is illicit and smuggled,” he says.

  8. Losing faith: Nearly a quarter of Americans raised Jewish no longer consider themselves Jewish

    That may be why David Campbell, the Notre Dame political scientist who is the coauthor, with Harvard’s Robert Putnam, of “American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us,” believes, as he put it in an interview, “It is pretty hard to imagine that someone with a strong Jewish identity flips a switch and becomes not Jewish.”
