International Symposium
The International Symposia on Jesuit Studies offer annual opportunities to cross thematic, chronological, and disciplinary boundaries.听Symposia have a global impact, attracting a diverse community of scholars, thus far, in Nairobi, Seville, and Boston.
Previous symposia featured scholarly presentations on the distinctiveness of Jesuits and their ministries (or the quidditas Jesuitica), the encounters between Jesuits and Protestants in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, the experiences of Francisco Su谩rez and other Jesuits with the complexities of modernity, and the tradition and future of collecting history in the Society of Jesus.
The volumes of presentations from the 2015 and 2016 symposia are available in Open Access as part of Brill鈥檚听(听补苍诲听). Brill has also published volumes emerging from the 2017 and 2018 events.
Beginning with the 2019 International Symposium on Jesuit Studies, Jesuit Sources will publish the selected proceedings, and all peer-reviewed essays will be hosted in the听听section of the Jesuit Sources听. The volumes appear as part听IJS Studies, an imprint at Jesuit Sources dedicated to听research on Jesuits and the Society of Jesus. This series features peer-reviewed secondary scholarship examining Jesuit history, spirituality, pedagogy, and other themes.听
