Richard W. Garnett, J.D. Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Professor, Law School; Concurrent Professor, Political Science; Fellow, Institute for Educational Initiatives Biography Richard Garnett is a professor of law and concurrent professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, where he teaches and writes about criminal law, constitutional law, religious freedom, and the freedom of speech. He received his B.A. in philosophy summa cum Categories laude from Duke University in 1990, and his J.D. from Yale Law School in 1995. Before coming to Notre Dame, he served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist and to Chief Judge Education, Government, Law Richard S. Arnold of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. He also practiced law at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Miller, Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin, specializing in criminal defense and religious liberty matters. Garnett’s scholarly work is in the areas of law and religion, federalism, school choice, and the freedom of association. He has also participated in the drafting of numerous amicus curiae briefs submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in First Amendment cases, including Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, the landmark school-voucher decision. He is the founding director of the Law Schools’ program on Church, State, and Society. In 2011, he was asked to serve as a consultant to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ new committee on Religious Liberty. Lectures Law, Religion, and Politics in the American Constitution and Tradition Particularly in the wake of recent elections, the Pledge of Allegiance case, the contraception-coverage mandate, and the same-sex marriage controversy, the always-bubbling debate about the appropriate role of religious believers and arguments in public life has reached a full boil. Our Constitution, it is often said, prescribes a separation of church and state. How should we understand this prescription, and what does it require of religious believers and institutions that engage in public and political life? The Right Questions About School Choice: Education, Religious Freedom, and the Common Good It’s been nearly a decade since the Supreme Court ruled, in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, that the Constitution permits state and local governments to experiment with school-voucher programs, and to include religious schools in the menu of parents’ options. What is the current state of the school-choice debate in the courts, in our legislatures, and in the public square? What questions and concerns should shape our thinking about education reform and its connection to religious freedom? Understanding the Constitution of the United States: A Citizen’s Guide and Appreciation The Constitution of the United States has both evolved and endured. It not only specifies the limited powers of our national government, it is also, in many ways, at the heart of our national character. How should we think about this text, this ongoing experiment in ordered liberty, this imperfect yet inspiring achievement? Recent political movements and high-profile court cases have highlighted the continuing significance of the charter originally ratified by “We the People” more than two centuries ago. Today – whether the issue is the Affordable Care Act, military action in Libya, drone attacks on terror suspects, religious liberty and contraception-coverage, or the appointment of various “czars” – Americans argue passionately about our Constitution, but how well do we really know it? For most of us, the First Amendment rings a bell, but what about the details of federal lawmaking, treaties, and appointments? This lecture provides an accessible overview of, and “citizen’s guide” to, the history, content, and future of our Constitution. 40 The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2013 Program
Brad S. Gregory, Ph.D. Associate Professor, History; Fellow, Nanovic Institute for European Studies Biography Brad Gregory joined the University of Notre Dame Department of History in 2003 after seven years at Stanford University, where he received early tenure in 2001. He has received teaching awards at both Stanford and Notre Dame, and his first book, Salvation at Stake: Christian Martyrdom in Early Modern Europe (Harvard, 1999), received six book prizes. A former junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows, Gregory teaches courses on early modern Europe as well as the first year Honors Humanities Seminar at Notre Dame. Lectures The Reformation Era and the Makings of Modernity Categories Church, History, Science This lecture discusses some of the ways in which the religious disagreements of the Reformation era prompted unintended historical developments—ideological as well as institutional—that in complex ways created the modern Western world, and without which we cannot understand contemporary problems as diverse as the presumed conflict between science and religion per se, unending moral disagreements, global climate change, and the secularization of knowledge. Science vs. Religion: The Compatibility and Complementary Flourishing of Catholicism and the Natural Sciences Angry disputes between anti-evolutionary creationists and neo-Darwinian atheists persist, but this lecture shows how Catholicism avoids the pitfalls of both by exploring Catholic teaching about God and creation in relationship to the natural sciences’ investigation of the natural world. Why History Matters for Catholics With all of our challenges in the present and concerns about the future, why should Catholics care about the past? This lecture explores reasons why an awareness of history is important for the informed faith of educated Catholics: the inescapability of Christianity as a religion rooted in time, the ways in which history can serve as a handmaid to theology, and the dual reality of the Christian past as both inspiration and scandal.
