L.CTL 230 - The Displaced Person-CT

Credits: 3

This course will examine the lives and creative output of three twentieth-century American Catholics: Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964), Dorothy Day (1897-1980), and Thomas Merton (1915-1968). The course will attempt to uncover these individuals’ convictions about sacramentality, mediation, and communion. It will investigate how they were shaped by Catholic perspectives and American culture and how they shaped both. The course will pay special attention to the claims made by each of these individuals about human dignity and human rights.
