Burton, Patricia A.This virtual collection contains Patricia A. Burton's conference analysis from the First General Meeting of the International Thomas Merton Society (ITMS) in 1989 through the Fourteenth Conference in 2015 and will be expanded to gather presentation titles and information from ongoing conferences.
Patricia Burton indexed information about ITMS conferences between 1989 and 2015, including conference titles, plenary speakers and presentations, concurrent and special session speakers, session and panel titles. Further, classified presentations by subject and by title of Merton's work studied. From her division into themes, she created charts and graphs to illustrate the frequency of themes.
Call for presentation proposals for the 19th General Meeting on the International Thomas Merton Society to be held at Regis University in 2025.
