Finding Common Ground: Shepard Symposium on Social JUstice 2024
|
This year’s theme - Finding Common Ground: Shepard Symposium on Social Justice 2024 - urges us to consider the ways in which individuals---here on our campus, in the town of Laramie, around the state of Wyoming, in the Rocky Mountain West, and in our world promote acts of social justice in small, medium, and perhaps even large ways. In the midst of societal change and intensely challenging times, how might we continue to do the hard work of coming back to common ground, again and again---and again?
To go a step further, we'll tell the ways in which these acts of social justice help to create common ground in our community, in our state, on our campus. In other words, we want to hear how people have pushed against social or environmental injustices--to create a more enlightened society. In what ways have we created more common ground on which we can all reside? We’d like to hear stories and research around how we can serve as humane bridges between seemingly intractable shores. |
