CSLR Senior Fellow Johan D. van der Vyver is traveling to countries in the midst of constitutional and church-state strife ¿ Nepal, India, Chile, and China -- to advise them on solutions tried by other nations. It¿s a role he¿s been playing since he helped bring an end to apartheid in his native South Africa nearly two decades ago.
This spring, CSLR faculty report a number of major national and international lectures, newly published and forthcoming books, and high academic honors, including the election of Senior Fellow Jean Porter (Notre Dame) to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
CSLR scholars are fanning out across the country and around the globe this summer to engage the national and world communities in discussions of urban decline, religious liberty, conditional and religious marriages, global justice, and numerous other topics of law and religion.
CSLR senior fellows continued their formidable global lecture schedule during the 2010-2011 academic year to increase understanding among students, religious leaders, and policymakers of the complex issues surrounding religious liberty, international human rights, marriage and family law, bioethics, and neighborhood stabilization policies.
