Liberal Arts Education: What’s the Point? Robert George and Cornel West in Conversation

In a time of sharp political and religious polarization, it’s fair to ask what the role of our country’s universities and colleges should be. How can educators respond to the crises of our time? What norms and tools best equip students to flourish in the world they will inherit and to be empowered to improve it? Is there even a point to a liberal arts education anymore? Professors Robert George and Cornel West have spent years pondering, debating, and conversing about these questions.

Join us for this critical conversation about the value of an education grounded in academic freedom that challenges people of diverse political persuasions to forge understanding and greater connection across differences.
