    Book Launch with Drs. Karen Eifler and Rachel Wheeler

    Book launch and talk with the editors of Beneath the Roar and Tumult, Karen Eifler and Rachel Wheeler.  Beneath the Roar and Tumult: Promoting Radical Hospitality and Belonging in College Classrooms is a collection of essays from professors across the many disciplines in Catholic colleges and universities who offer portable practices to embolden students to employ a prophetic lens to see the world clearly as it is, and then creatively imagine a better way forward. At a time when higher education is under extraordinary political pressure to be silent rather than prophetic, the volume makes a case for why and how the religious commitments of the institutions and faculty often compel prophetic education.
