Racial Justice and the Catholic Church
Building an Anti-Racist Vocabulary
The Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights presents Building an Anti-Racist Vocabulary, presenting preeminent scholars, thought leaders, and public intellectuals to guide us through topics necessary to an understanding of systemic racism and racial justice. The series is self-consciously an entry point, designed to provide intellectual and moral building blocks to begin the transformative work of anti-racism. The Klau Institute is an integral part of the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.

The Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights
Founded in 1973 by Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., then president of the University of Notre Dame, the Klau Institute’s mission is at once both ambitious and fundamental: we seek to advance the God-given dignity of all human persons. We anchor this work in an integrative approach to civil and human rights. We aspire to provide transformative education, innovative research, and meaningful engagement with students and with the broader community.
We do this work within the Keough School of Global Affairs as part of an interdisciplinary team devoted to holistic human flourishing. Most importantly, we do this work at Notre Dame, which encourages us to explore these critical issues in the context of our rich Catholic social tradition and, ultimately, to cultivate in our students “a sense of human solidarity and concern for the common good.”
