“What Is Education For? Learning As If You and Others Mattered” with Daniel Barbezat

October 19, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

We all have many wants, many of which conflict with each other. While courses and programs need to provide preparation for working and careers, we also want them to deepen the experience of being human beings, enriching our sense of the fullness of our emotional, spiritual, physical, moral, and intellectual flourishing. How do we select among what often feels like conflicting aims? In this workshop, we will examine how we can cultivate and sustain an inquiry into what is most deeply important to us and how we can use this sense of meaning to guide us in decisions concerning our college experiences (the selection of your courses/majors, participation in co-curricular activates, etc.). We will examine this sense of meaning and provide techniques for implementing it into our lives. Through this process, we can better recognize our constraints and make decisions across the many tradeoffs that we face.
