Student Symposium: 鈥淧encils Down: Confronting Hate with, and in, the Humanities鈥

Event Date and Time: June 18, 2020, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Event Address:

Even in times of enormous social need, the Humanities too frequently take their responsibilities to confront hatred and iniquity in society, along with their potential to address social justice, for granted. Please join this student-organized symposium for a full-day series of remote roundtables on social justice in and out of the classroom. This symposium highlights student voices confronting hate with, and in, the humanities. In addition to two open-ended student roundtables, the program will include smaller sessions on the following topics:

  • Protest movements
  • Criminal Justice
  • Social justice in the classroom
  • Creative responses to social justice
