Autism Vox

A Conference of Witness and Hope

by Kristina Chew, PhD on August 18th, 2006

“Tomorrow’s whole person must have a well-educated solidarity…When the heart is touched by direct experience, the mind may be challenged to change. Personal involvement with innocent suffering, with the injustice others suffer, is the catalyst for solidarity which then gives rise to intellectual inquiry and moral reflection.”

–Rev.Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., Superior General of the Society of Jesus, “The Service of Faith and the Promotion of Justice in American Jesuit Higher Education” (2000)

This quotation describes the main themes of AUTISM AND ADVOCACY: A CONFERENCE OF WITNESS AND HOPE, which is being held on Friday, October 27th, on the Lincoln Center campus of Fordham University.
