University Faculty for Life conference at Villanova

The annual meeting of University Faculty for Life will be held this weekend (June 2-4, 2006) at Villanova. The conference, which has been expertly organized by Professor Jeanne Heffernan from Villanova, is being supported by a generous grant from Our Sunday Visitor Institute and Ave Maria School of Law.

The preliminary conference schedule is available here. Featured speakers include Robby George, Frank Beckwith, and Deidre McQuade. I hesitate to single out other papers but I'll mention a few of the speakers who will address "legal" issues: Sam Calhoun (Washington & Lee), Robert Miller (Villanova), Richard Myers (Ave Maria), Carter Snead (Notre Dame), and Lee Strang (Ave Maria). The conference has an interdisciplinary focus and there are papers that deal with historical, philosophical, and theological issues.
