The Educational Conversation

What does it mean to be an educated person? At first, we must defer to the answers of others. Over time, we become curious about our formation. What does all of this schooling add up to? How do all of my influences beyond school fit together? We realize that it is time to take responsibility for our own education, to reflect on what it is admirable to become, to locate resources for self-cultivation, and to integrate them into a life worth living. But this is not solitary work. Together we will consider a range of rich, rival conceptions of what it means to be educated. In this way, you will be invited to join one of the oldest and richest dialogues, the educational conversation.
