Catholic Theology Research Seminar - Dr Clare Watkins

Prof Clare Watkins is research lead on the Conversations, Culture and Communion project, based at the CCS, and exploring the theological-practical change in the Catholic Church for its greater health and vitality.

One of the original developers of Theological Action Research, Clare has developed ways of working integratively with qualitative research data and systematic theology so as to offer accounts of church life, faith, and mission which are holistic, and suggestive of a ‘whole-theology’. Her most recent and forthcoming book publications are worked examples of these commitments.

Clare is a former chair of the British and Irish Association for Practical Theology, a member of the Ecclesiology and Ethnography Group, and has served on the International Methodist-Roman Catholic Dialogue commission for 15 years.

This seminar forms part of the Catholic Theology Research Seminar Series (CTRS). The CTRS is a regular forum for scholarly discussion of pertinent issues in the Catholic traditions of theology and Church. The seminar series ranges across the traditional theological disciplines (scriptural, historical, philosophical, systematic, liturgical, ethical and practical/pastoral), Catholic social thought and practice, and social-scientific approaches to Catholicism.
