Meetings of the Gonzaga Socratic Club are held once a month during the academic year.  In Spring 2008 we are returning to our original slot on Fridays from 4:00-5:30 (meeting days for Spring 2008 are January 25, February 15, March 28, and April 18).   The format for meetings is a 20-30 minute presentation followed by a brief formal response and then open discussion.  For the current schedule of the Gonzaga Socratic Club's activities, please click here.

The Gonzaga Socratic Club takes its inspiration from the famous Oxford Socratic Club, which was founded at Oxford University in 1941 and presided over by C. S. Lewis from its founding until his move to Cambridge University in 1954.

Audio recordings of recent Gonzaga Socratic Club meetings are now available.  Click on the links for the Fall 2007 talks by Chris Sparks on Catholic Identity and David Calhoun on Aristotelian Virtue in C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, and the Spring 2008 talks by Brian Clayton and Tim Clancy, SJ, on Teaching as a Pastoral Vocation and Aaron Brown on the New Atheism.
