Catholic Studies Presents Second Annual Conway Lecture 'The Catholic Church and Migration'
This years Conway Lecture in Catholic Studies will be presented by Kevin Appleby on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at the Saint Monica-Saint George Catholic Church in Clifton from 7-8:30 p.m. The lecture is co-sponsored by the Immigration and Nationality Law Review, the Catholic Social Action Office of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, and the University of Cincinnati's McMicken Department of Romance Languages and Literatures.
Appleby is the director of the Office of Migration Policy and Public Affairs for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, where he assists the bishops in the development and promotion of migration and refugee policy positions. His presentation, entitled The Catholic Church and Migration, will discuss the churchs role in the immigration debate, and address the current border crisis in the context of the upcoming November elections.
The Catholic Church is a leading proponent of federal immigration reform, and Appleby has played a central role in the churchs outreach on the issue, discussing immigration in a number of national media outlets. He has previously worked on Capitol Hill for Sen. Russell Long of Louisiana, as well as the Senate Select Committee on Iran-Contra.
The Conway lecture is named in honor of Ruth and Robert Conway, who donated $2 million to establish the chair in Catholic studies at UC.
