FiresideND Podcast

Dear Friends,

Welcome to FiresideND, the new monthly podcast series from ThinkND that brings the experience and expertise of Notre Dame to you – whenever, wherever. FiresideND features episodes from Notre Dame faculty on the topics that matter most to them and to you. From STEM and health, to religion and art, listen and learn with Notre Dame on the go.

In episode one, we explore the recent Supreme Court decisions on two critical cases: Students for Fair Admissions (SFA) v. President and Fellows of Harvard and SFA v. University of North Carolina. Both cases addressed whether and how universities can create racially diverse student bodies.

What do we make of these decisions? How does Notre Dame, as an institution deeply informed by Catholic Social Teaching, move forward? What is the future of affirmative action and racial equity in higher education in general? This episode is presented by the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights, the Initiative on Race and Resilience, the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Studies, and the Office of Institutional Transformation.

Join FiresideND for a discussion of the academic, legal, moral, and social implications of the Supreme Court’s latest move.

Inspire your mind and spark conversations.
