The first Expert Meeting on "Purposes and Models of Governance in the Church" - 2-3 May 2025
Between 2 and 3 May 2025 the Research Group Purpose and Models of Governance in the Church will organize an Expert Meeting. The goal of these two days is to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue in which each participant presents their methodological perspective in relation to the study topics.
The Friday session will begin with an introductory speech on methodology and interdisciplinarity in the context of issues related to governance within the Church. This will be followed by a debate among all participants. Three topics will then be addressed. For each topic, three speakers from different fields will initiate the discussion with a brief presentation, highlighting, in particular, the specific methodology related to the topic in their discipline (the way the issue is approached, key authors, and reference texts on the subject, etc.).
Saturday morning will be dedicated to the presentation of ongoing research by doctoral students, allowing them to receive feedback from the audience, as well as the presentation or announcement of research projects by professors or researchers.
