Introduction to the Lonergan G.E.M. Fellows Program

The Lonergan G.E.M. Fellows program is inspired by the Praxis Program at Seton Hall. Each year, the Lonergan Institute recruits a new cohort of G.E.M. Fellows, comprising faculty and administrators from diverse departments at Boston College.

Program Overview

The program is named after Lonergan's Generalized Empirical Method, a method of appropriation that allows scholars to collaborate across disciplines. This method enables participants to understand their work as fulfilling a common mission of formation and research within the wider university.

Program Structure

• The G.E.M. Fellows meet seven times in the spring semester for two-hour seminar discussions.
  • These discussions are designed to facilitate collaboration and understanding among participants from diverse departments.
• Participants craft and implement a year-long project relating Lonergan's thought and the mission of the university to their own work.
• The program includes a trip to Rome, where participants present their projects to global Lonergan scholars for feedback.
