The Open Inquiry Week speaker series is designed to encourage the campus community to think – and talk with one another – about what it means to develop an informed opinion and stand your ground when challenged; and about changing your mind in light of new evidence, different perspectives, and serious reflection. Open inquiry and the thoughtful exchange of ideas can expand what you know (and how you know it), change your mind when warranted, and help cultivate the courage of your convictions when necessary.
A panel of distinguished scholars will discuss the past, present, and possible futures of college student activism, as well as the relationship of student activism to liberal education and democratic engagement.
