IN THE WORKS
Among other projects, in 2024, Therese will be completing The Cascade Companion to Theological Bioethics (Cascade Press, 2024), a primer for those interested in what, exactly, a theological bioethics might be, introducing readers to the history of the field, key figures and debates, as well as tracing a vision for the future of the conversation.
In addition to meetings in Rome and Belgium, she travelled to Chaminade University in October 2024 to deliver the bi-annual Marianist Lecture and receive the Mackey Award for Catholic Thought.
She also continues to serve as Editor of the Journal of Moral Theology.
