The Lumen Christi Institute was founded at the University of Chicago in 1997, inspired by a vision articulated by Catholic scholars at the university. The Institute engages the university community in dialogue about the Catholic intellectual tradition through lectures, conferences, seminars, reading groups, and non-credit courses led by both renowned scholars and students. LCI’s work has inspired the establishment of similar organizations across the country. In 2022 the Institute established the In Lumine Network, a consortium of Catholic institutes at non Catholic colleges and universities. LCI’s programming also serves the wider Chicago community through in-person events and has grown a national audience through its online programs.
