Cultural Encounters: Books that Have Made a Difference

In a world increasingly divided along national, religious, and cultural lines, Pope Francis has called for a “culture of encounter” that promotes communication and builds trust while acknowledging the inevitability of conflict. Cultural encounters that entail the recognition of others in their otherness are a contemporary imperative with a rich thematic history in literature and the humanities. This series will bring leading scholars together, across disciplines, to explore themes of encounter both in classic literary works and in contemporary cultural debates.
