Jennifer Newsome Martin, Director of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture

Jennifer Newsome Martin is an associate professor in the Program of Liberal Studies with a joint appointment in the Department of Theology, and, as of July 2024, the director of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture. Hear about her first semester in the director’s chair, the recently-concluded Fall Conference on the Catholic Imagination, and preview some exciting new initiatives at the de Nicola Center.

The work of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture is aimed at one goal: to share the richness of the Catholic moral and intellectual tradition through teaching, research, and dialogue, at the highest level and across a range of disciplines. In so doing, they enrich Notre Dame’s distinctive intellectual ecology—and they bring the University’s voice into the academic and public conversations concerning the most vital and complex matters of ethics, literature, art, music, social sciences, philosophy, theology, history, political theory, applied and theoretical science, public policy, and law.
