The mission of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture is to explore the richness of the Catholic moral and intellectual tradition through teaching, research, service, and dialogue, at the highest level and across a range of disciplinesāboth on campus and in the global public square, where it brings Notre Dameās distinctive voice to the most important public conversations concerning human dignity and the common good.
The de Nicola Center is a vital forum for interdisciplinary research and discussion of the most pressing human questions. Its integrated research program includes initiatives on bioethics and the human person; the transformative power of beauty; racial healing, justice, and the Catholic tradition; and building a civilization of love for mothers, children, and families. It hosts visiting scholars and post-doctoral students, offers graduate fellowships, and funds faculty hiring. In collaboration with Notre Dame Press, the de Nicola Center edits four award-winning book series, which has published 28 titles since 2016 (including the unreleased works of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn).
The de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture is delighted to collaborate with ThinkND to share the fruits of our research. We invite you to explore our work and join these important conversations!
