Symposium: "Who is my neighbor?"

The parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37) endures as a powerful meditation on compassion, hospitality, and the boundaries of moral responsibility. In an age marked by geopolitical instability, mass displacement, and deepening social divides, the question “And who is my neighbor?” acquires renewed urgency. This day-long symposium, co-sponsored by the Association of Scholars of Christianity in the History of Art (ASCHA) and the Center for World Catholicism & Intercultural Theology at De Paul University (Chicago), invites critical reflection on how visual art—particularly modern and contemporary—has grappled with the ethical, theological, and political implications of neighborliness, sanctuary, and the representation of the “other.” Read more about the symposium and check out the schedule here.
