Laudato Si’ Research Institute
Description
The Laudato Si’ Research Institute is based at Campion Hall, the oldest Permanent Private Hall at the University of Oxford, and is a work of the Jesuits in Britain.
Since opening in 2019, the Institute's work has been inspired by Pope Francis' vision in the encyclical Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home, which calls all people to respond to the 'cry of the earth' and the 'cry of the poor'.
Inspired by Ignatian traditions and drawing insights from the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities, the Institute’s mission is to develop an integral ecology paradigm to create a hope-filled future for socio-ecological transformation.
The Institute works across a number of research clusters in fields as varied as political ecology, inter-faith environmental theology, sustainable agriculture, and endangered cultures and languages.
All the Institute's work in these clusters is unified by a concern to address the contemporary socio-ecological crisis in an integrated way.
