Persons with disability make up at least 15 percent of the global population, yet disability justice is an underdeveloped area of theological ethics, according to School of Theology and Ministry Professor of Moral Theology Mary Jo Iozzio, author of the new book, Disability Ethics and Preferential Justice: A Catholic Perspective (Georgetown University Press, 2023). Her book is a primer on disability ethics that offers practical strategies based on Catholic social teaching to inspire deliberate action for an increasingly inclusive and participatory Church and society. BC Libraries recently featured a video of Iozzio discussing her book.
