Together, we will walk in solidarity for peace, justice and care for our common home, reflecting on the deep connections between the wellbeing of our planet and the dignity of all people.

Today many people believe that humans are the most intelligent, virtuous, successful species that ever lived. In this book talk, NYU primatologist Christine Webb will outline how human exceptionalism is an ideology that relies more on human culture than our biology, exposing many scientific studies’ biases against other species and revealing underappreciated complexities of nonhuman life. The guest speaker will be Christine Webb of Harvard University.
Led in collaboration with SHU Fit, these 30-minute walks will took place every Thursday at 12:15 p.m. Meet us at the Laudato Si’ Prayer Garden (outside Pios Kitchen on the first floor of the west building at West Campus) where we will begin with a prayer and then head to the walking paths. Let’s walk together toward wellness, connection and care for our common home!
