GSAS Workshops

Academics and service professionals generally know that culture develops in relationship to human rights and material resources. Our GSAS Workshop will promote the enabling dimensions of this link. Through personal narratives, engaged with projects in public service, we will explore ways in which intellectual, spiritual, and aesthetic practices can enhance (or constrain) personal and collective goals. One effect will be to encourage academics to be more responsible to community, while at the same time deriving practical lessons that are valuable to academic work. The reciprocity of theory and practice can do some social good while doing good scholarship. GSAS Workshops are sponsored by FAS.
