University Faculty for Life conference at St. Thomas in late May 2015

The annual meeting of University Faculty for Life will be held at the University of St. Thomas Law School on May 29-31, 2015. We have had two successful conferences at St. Thomas (2004 and 2009) and I hope many of you will return for this year’s conference. See here for registration information.

I just received this note from Professor Barbara Freres who is organizing the conference program:

It is not too late to propose a scholarly presentation of your own prolife work. Paper proposals should be one page (maximum) and should include the working title of the proposed paper, author’s name, affiliation, full contact information, and a brief abstract or outline. Proposals should be sent by April 20th, 2015, to Professor Barbara Freres at [email protected].
