The Center for Research on Global Catholicism (CRGC) at Saint Louis University hosted its biennial conference — Translations, Transgressions, and Transformations: The Global Movement of Objects in Catholic Cultures in October 20-21, 2023 in St. Louis.
This conference brought leading scholars from various disciplines into conversation to break new ground and open new lines of inquiry into the translation, transgression and transformation of Catholicism as it has circulated globally across cultural spaces through the traffic and transfer of material cultures.
Prof. Anne O’Connor contibuted to Session 2: Global Economies of Exchange with her presentation on “The Translation Trade: Global Catholic Exchange across Language and Geography”.
Prof. O’Connor commented: The Center for Research in Global Catholicism in St. Louis Missouri was a wonderful host for an international discussion on the global movement of objects in Catholic cultures. I was delighted to be able to present on 19th century translated Catholic works as part of the PIETRA project.
