 c talk is part of a 2023-2024 Andrew Mellon Sawyer Seminar titled “Evasion
 : Thinking the Underside of Surveillance.” About the talk:Clerical sexual 
 abuse in the United States first surfaced in Louisiana and then Minnesota 
 in the 1980s. There were others in New Orleans, Milwaukee, and Chicago i
 n the early 1990s, and then a spate of cases in Boston in 2001. Today mor
 e than one hundred dioceses and religious orders have released lists of cr
 edibly accused priests and dozens have filed for bankruptcy, with the tot
 al amount of settlements paid to victims nearly topping $4 billion. The co
 verage of these events has focused almost exclusively on how bishops acros
 s the United States transferred known perpetrators from parish to parish,
  but the Church also deploys far more sophisticated tactics to evade accou
 ntability for their clerics’ crimes. Join Professor Kevin Lewis O’Neill fo
 r a conversation with Patrick J. Wall and Levi Monagle to learn more about
  their years of experience holding the Church accountable.About the speake
 rs:Patrick J. WallPatrick Wall, a world-renowned expert on the Catholic C
 lergy Abuse Crisis, has been working on behalf of victims of clergy sexua
 l abuse since 2002. A former Roman Catholic Priest and Benedictine Monk, 
 Wall has a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and a master’s of divinity degr
 ee from Saint John’s University in Minnesota. Wall has also pursued gradua
 te studies at the University of Minnesota, the Gregorian University and C
 ardiff University in Canon Law. He is now an advocate at Jeff Anderson and
  Associates in St. Paul, MN, working out of their Los Angeles office.htt
 ps://www.andersonadvocates.com/While a practicing priest in Minnesota, Wa
 ll served as a faculty resident, member of the seminary sexual abuse resp
 onse team, associate pastor, parochial administrator, defender of the b
 ond, advocate, tribunal judge, high school instructor, member of the a
 rchdiocesan finance council, and member of the Canon Law Society of Ameri
 ca. In these capacities, he became intimately familiar with the day-to-da
 y operations of a parish, tribunal, religious order, and archdiocese. A
 fter working as a “fixer” in the church, dealing with the aftermath of se
 xual abusive priests in parishes and schools, Wall left the priesthood, 
 finding that the only way that abuse survivors would get the help and heal
 ing they needed was outside of the church hierarchy.Wall has consulted on 
 more than 2000 cases of clergy abuse in the United States and has become a
  leading advocate and expert on the causes and cover-up involved in the wo
 rld-wide crisis. He is an author of “Sex, Priests and Secret Codes,” a l
 eading book on the 2000-year history of sexual abuse in the Catholic Churc
 h, and has been profiled in numerous national magazines, newspapers and 
 radio and television shows. He has also taught courses and seminar at the 
 University of California, Irvine, and Cal State Fullerton.Levi MonagleLe
 vi was raised in New Mexico from infancy, and New Mexico’s people, place
 s, music, food, and culture remain his first love and inspiration. From
  this love stems a belief in the power of individuals, small groups, and
  local communities over the impersonal power of economies of scale and the
 ir attendant abuses and bureaucracies. From a belief in the power of indiv
 iduals and local communities stems a deep appreciation of the privilege of
  counseling and advocating on their behalf.Levi obtained his undergraduate
  degree and his law degree from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerqu
 e. He joined the Law Offices of Brad D. Hall as a law clerk in 2013 and ha
 s been with the Firm ever since. Throughout his time with the Firm, Levi 
 has worked to represent individuals victimized by the abuse of power. He h
 as served as the President of the Board of Directors of the Rape Crisis Ce
 nter of Central New Mexico, as well as Board Chair for Common Cause New M
 exico and a coalition attorney for the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund.Kevin 
 Lewis O'NeillKevin Lewis O’Neill is the Director of the Centre for Diaspor
 a and Transnational Studies and Professor in the Department for the Study 
 of Religion at the University of Toronto. His work, deeply ethnographic,
  focuses on the moral dimensions of contemporary political practice in Lat
 in America. To this end, O’Neill has written a trilogy on the politics of
  Pentecostalism in Guatemala City – City of God (University of California 
 Press, 2010); Secure the Soul (University of California Press, 2015); 
 and Hunted (University of Chicago Press, August 2019). Working across the
  themes of democracy, security, and drugs, each book explores the wanin
 g viability of disciplinary institutions and how new strains of Christian 
 piety have become recognizable modes of governance in Central America.O'Ne
 ill is currently writing two books. The first is supported by a 2021 John 
 Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. It considers clearical sexual abuse in Latin 
 America, with a focus on U.S. priests who moved (or were moved) to Centra
 l America to evade suspicion and, at times, prosecution. The second is a
 n ethnography of traffic in Guatemala City that realigns conversations abo
 ut security, mobility, and infrastructure in Latin America.Professor O’N
 eill is also the editor of a book series with the University of California
  Press – Atelier: Ethnographic Inquiry in the Twenty-First Century. \nCont
