Hesburgh Lecture | Heather Foucault-Camm
Event details
You're invited to Mount Mercy University's Hesburgh Lecture, featuring Heather Foucault-Camm, presenting "Both Creation and Beginning: A Catholic's Vision of the Cosmos."
Monsignor Georges LeMaitre once said, 'It appeared to me that there were two paths to truth, and I decided to follow both of them.' Creation, the Big Bang - two paths, but one truth? And who, by the way, is Monsignor Georges LeMaitre? Together, we will seek to answer these questions as we consider the vastness of the Universe, its origins and end, as both a journey of continued scientific discovery and a powerful example of the glory of the Creator.
Heather Foucault-Camm, PGCE, MSc, MA, is the Program Director for the Science and Religion Initiative (SRI) at the McGrath Institute for Church Life, where she develops the pedagogical components of SRI programming, and delivers presentations on Bioethics, Technology, and Chemistry. A veteran science teacher and curriculum designer, she has a BSc and MSc in the field of Chemistry (Chemical Physics), a PGCE, an M.A. in Theology (Notre Dame) and she continues to work on her PhD in Moral Theology (Notre Dame). Heather's scholarly work focuses on the social implications of emerging technologies, with a particular influence on Artificial Intelligence. Heather is a Scholar Associate of the Society of Catholic Scientists, upon special invitation from its Board, and is a Lay Dominican of the Province of St. Albert the Great.
