2026 colloquium

The IHW Annual Colloquium

A Focused Gathering for Research and Public Leadership

The IHW Annual Colloquium gathers scholars, policy professionals, and church leaders for two days of focused discussion on questions related to human dignity, life issues, and family flourishing. It is designed to create the kind of sustained, cross-disciplinary conversation that helps research travel more effectively into public, institutional, and pastoral use.

what to expect

Research, Application, and Exchange

The colloquium is built around complementary forms of engagement

Original Research Presentations

IHW scholars and invited contributors present current work and emerging findings. These sessions allow attendees to engage serious research at an early stage and to consider its significance across multiple fields.

Applied Workshops

Leaders from policy, ministry, nonprofit, and academic settings discuss how research informs their work in practice. These sessions are designed to connect ideas to institutions, decisions, and strategy.

Cross-disciplinary Conversation

Structured discussion creates space for participants from different sectors to learn from one another. The goal is not simply to hear presentations, but to build the kind of informed exchange that strengthens long-term work.
