Details

Critical Conversations is a monthly series sponsored by the Office of the Provost in which a panel of experts thoughtfully engage in "Critical Conversations" about important cross-disciplinary and often controversial topics. Centered around a complex question, each panel will cover disciplinary lenses, such as historical, legal, societal, ethical, and medical contexts. This is followed by a rich Q&A session interaction with the audience.

Provost and Executive Vice President Joy K. Ward will serve as the moderator.

Critical Conversation are open to ALL members of the CWRU community. Join us!
