KavenyScholar and author Cathleen Kaveny will be the keynote speaker at this year's Catholic Healthcare Innovation in Ethics Forum, which is being hosted by Hospital Sisters Health System.
The virtual event is Oct 15-17 and registration is open.
The annual conference, known as CHIEF, provides a venue to present innovative ideas or projects, receive critical feedback, and contribute to evolving how Catholic health care thinks about and implements ethics.
CHIEF is designed around short talks and a keynote address and time for networking.
Kaveny is a professor at Boston College. Her position includes appointments in both the Theology Department and at the law school. Her teaching and writing focus on the relationship of law, religion and morality. She has written four books and is a columnist
for the Catholic journal Commonweal.
Kaveny's keynote address at CHIEF is titled "Prophet, Priest, or Royal Ruler: The Identity Crisis for Catholic Ethicists Today."
Ethicists working in Catholic health care and students pursuing an ethics-related degree who have a desire to work in the Catholic health care ministry are invited to attend the forum. The cost is $50. The fee is waived for students who are not employed
full time.
