St. Norbert College will host Carol Bruess to kick off its four-part Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy Lecture Series on Thursday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. The lecture will take place at the Walter Theatre in the Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts on the college campus. It is free and open to the public.

As part of the 2018-19 Killeen chair lecture series, which focuses on community and technology, Bruess will present the lecture, “Our Love Affair With Technology: Some (Inconvenient) Truths.” Bruess, a St. Norbert College alumna, is professor emerita of communication and journalism at the University of St. Thomas, Minn., and was recently named resident scholar of the Cassandra Voss Center at St. Norbert College.
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 Abbot 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.
