SUMMARY:Scholars in Focus: Danielle Courtemanche & Mary Kate Holman
DESCRIPTION:Scroll to the bottom to register.\n\n \n\nPlease join us for 
 our spring Scholars in Focus series\, giving you a glimpse into the 
 exciting work happening across the University. Two faculty/staff members 
 will discuss their research for 15 minutes each\, followed by Q&A. \n\nThis 
 virtual Scholars in Focus\, on March 23rd at 3:30pm\, will feature Danielle 
 Courtemanche\, Ed.D.\, Assistant Dean and Director of Undergraduate 
 Programs\, Dolan School of Business\, and Mary Kate Holman\, PhD\, 
 Assistant Professor of Religious Studies will be presenting.\n\nAssistant 
 Dean Danielle Courtemanche will be discussing "Persisting Past the First 
 Year: A General Inductive Analysis Around the Attrition of a Diverse 
 population of Adult-Learners Enrolled in an Online Undergraduate Program". 
 The purpose of this general inductive qualitative study was to investigate 
 the problem of attrition found in online education and to understand the 
 experiences that impacted the adult learners in their decisions to drop-out 
 of their undergraduate programs during the first year enrolled at any 
 online post-secondary institutions.\n\n\nProfessor Mary Kate Holman will be 
 presenting "Marie-Dominique Chenu: Catholic Theology for a Changing World". 
 In 1942\, historian Marie-Dominique Chenu was removed from his teaching 
 position at Le Saulchoir\, the French Dominican school of theology\, and 
 his groundbreaking new publication was placed on the Catholic Church’s 
 Index of Forbidden Books. Yet only two decades later\, the Catholic 
 hierarchy embraced many of his ideas at the Second Vatican Council. 
 Although Chenu’s pioneering work helped to usher in a new era\, his 
 influence on the Catholic Church remains overlooked and underexplored. 
 Drawing upon extensive new archival research\, Mary Kate Holman's new book 
 demonstrates how Chenu's theology contributed to the church’s opening to 
 the modern world and shaped the next generation of theologians. The book 
 presents the distinctive elements of Chenu’s theology\, identifies his 
 major contributions to contemporary Catholic theology\, and proposes a 
 constructive retrieval of his thought for a renewed ecclesiology in the 
 twenty-first century.\n\n\n\n\n
