 \;Female orders of Franciscan nuns\, including the Poor Clares and Clari
 ssan Nuns\;&nbsp\;Francis’ economic\, social\, and environmental views

 ching of St. Francis to modern audiences. This conference is open to sch
 olars from all academic disciplines\, including history\, art history\,

 ronmental studies.&nbsp\;The conference will be held in Siena at the Sie
