Collegium alums are ingenious using the colloquy’s lessons to animate their teaching and scholarship in ways that fit with their distinctive campus cultures and their own personalities. These are highlighted in a handful of 20-minute podcasts released each semester on Collegium’s YouTube channel. Two recent conversations with Executive Director Karen Eifler are now available to be inspired by:
Interdisciplinary scholar Sharon Williams (St. John’s colloquy 2025) of Iona University offers highlights from her new volume of creative non-fiction essays exploring the intersection of religion, Black studies and Social Justice themes, Breath, Voice, Fire, now available from Cascade Books, an imprint of Wipf and Stock. Listen here.
In another new episode, biologist Kate Barrett (also St. John’s colloquy, 2025) takes us into her Human Ecology courses at Holy Cross College-Notre Dame to see how she uses thoughtfully chosen literature and her students’ storytelling to cultivate sacramental imagination and a deep sense of place, along with meeting course objectives.
