Read, Engage, Act Conference in the Humanities
REACH is the signature event of the Center for Liberal Arts Work, meant to be a celebration of our humanity (and the humanities!) in an age when we struggle sometimes to value human connection and human creation. We’re not interested in commodification; we’re interested in creativity for creativity’s sake.
Our guiding question this cycle is: What is power and what does it look like?
Sessions at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. and 1 and 2 p.m. Lunch will be provided!
