Flaherty, who holds a doctorate in ministry, was executive director of the Intercommunity Center for Justice and Peace, a coalition of 40 Catholic faith-based congregations. Her work has brought her to Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. In 1999 she helped lead a delegation to Iraq and documented the impact of sanctions and embargo on Iraqi children; she presented those findings to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva. Recently, she traveled to Syria and Lebanon to document the Iraqi refugee situation there.
The St. Thomas Aquinas Lecture Series is made possible by the Marie Louise Bianchi ’31 Fund. It is named in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas, a scholar and member of the Dominican Order, who left behind a treasure of knowledge and inquiry. Since its founding in 1925, by the Dominican Sisters, the College has cherished its Dominican tradition and Catholic heritage through the pursuit of truth in all its dimensions.
