FLANNERY O'CONNOR ACADEMY

I've been a professor and a worldwide educator on all levels for over half a century; each and every year in academia, though, I held down a blue collar job. I've traveled extensively, and I address our collective crises using the inspiration of Flannery O'Connor to make recommendations for dealing with the social and environmental issues our times. I very much want to honor the thrust of Pope Francis' encyclical with a sense of urgency, and so I advocate moving in solidarity following a fresh paradigm post haste.
