We are very delighted to have two speakers from Cambridge and respondent from Hong Kong. The webinar will focus on Catholic Social Teaching and the Common Good and why Catholic Social Teaching is not aligned with any particular politico-economic system, and how this works in practice.
Dr Frances Image and Dr Marystella Guerra
Dr Frances Image served for twenty years as Diocesan Schools’ Commissioner, first in East Anglia then in the Diocese of Northampton. She subsequently completed her Ph.D. at the University of London (Heythrop College/SAS) exploring the impact of Catholic education on the integral development of vulnerable and marginalized children in Ecuador measuring impact across the whole range of a child’s potentialities. Her current research focused on the interconnection between Catholic Social Teaching and the praxis of providing holistic education to children suffering extreme deprivation, including the practicalities of measuring impact. She is also currently involved in a project to produce a course on eco-theology for use within parishes in her diocese and beyond.
Dr Marystella Ramirez Guerra holds degrees in History and Theology from the Universities of Navarre, Oxford, Cambridge, and Aachen. Her research interests include the religious Enlightenment of the Holy Roman Empire during the 18th Century, Women’s education during this Enlightenment period and its connection to the reform of civil society, and the historical connections between social-political regimes and the concept of Human Dignity as understood by Catholic Social Teaching. She is currently Postdoctoral Research Associate at St Edmund’s College, Cambridge and is working on a book titled Women’s Education, Proto-Feminism, and Pietism in 18 Century Prussia, to be published in 2024 by Routledge.

本書獨特之處，從前談及天主教在華歴史，都是着眼於外籍傳教士，尤其是神父和修士，本地女性好像被遺忘了，這亦因為她們的資料實在不多。本書説及一群本地華籍女性，看其怎樣奉獻一生，過着修道的生活，服務人群。
