0:00.0	Hello, and welcome back to the Thomistic Institute podcast. My name is Father Gregory, and I am a Dominican
0:16.3	friar of the province of St. Joseph, associated in some small way, which is to say only by means of this
0:21.0	podcast with the Thomistic Institute, although that's a slight exaggeration, because I did work for
0:25.0	the Timistic Institute for two years before going on to doctoral studies. And these, or I should
0:30.5	say this, is an off-campus conversation to which you may or may not have become accustomed,
0:35.6	depending on whether or not you've listened to them. But we've done a few now, I guess, for the past six, seven months. And the hope is that by following
0:42.0	up with Domestic Institute speakers, we can deepen some of the insights that they will have
0:45.9	shared at lectures on campus or in retreats, conferences, what have you. So for this installment
0:51.9	of off-campus conversations, very delighted to be joined by Sister Eleanor Gardner. Thanks for joining Sister. Thank you. So for this installment of off-campus conversations, very delighted to be joined by

1:33.2	And I've been here for about four years teaching philosophy in the philosophy department and enjoying the wonderful Texas weather.
1:43.2	We have also an elementary school here in the Texas
1:48.0	area. Anything else? That's a great start. I was listening to your lecture and then I was
1:54.5	listening to another lecture of yours online in anticipation of this here conversation. And
1:59.8	the person interviewing you in the second asks,
2:03.1	you know, like how is it that you became a Dominican sister or how it is that you find yourself
2:07.4	in your current assignment. And you described like following, falling, I am stumbling over my words.
