St. Norbert College will host Daniel Finn to speak at its Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy Lecture Series on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. The lecture will take place in the Fort Howard Theater of the F. K. Bemis International Conference Center on the college campus. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Finn is the William E. & Virginia Clemens Professor of Economics and the Liberal Arts and professor of theology at the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University. As part of the 2016-17 Killeen Lecture Series, which will focus on economic justice in modern times, Finn will lecture on "Understanding Structural Injustice: What Is a Sinful Social Structure?"

Finn received his B.A. in mathematics from St. John Fisher College and his M.A. in economics and Ph.D. in religious social ethics from the University of Chicago.

Established in 1984, the Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy stresses the importance of theology and philosophy in a Catholic liberal arts education, highlighting the commitment of St. Norbert College to provide an education that is personally, intellectually and spiritually challenging. Named after Abbott Sylvester Michael Killeen, O.Praem., chancellor of the college from 1967 to 1970, the Killeen Chair provides a fuller understanding of theological and philosophical issues by bringing scholars to campus in fields ranging from biology and psychology to economics and political science.
