ROLLINS
COLLEGE COLLOQUY
Liberal
Education and Social Responsibility in a Global Community
March
26-28, 2007
The
Rollins College Colloquy presented a variety of perspectives
on liberal education and social responsibility in a global society.
President Lewis Duncan launched these conversations for the Rollins community as a continuation
of the College's tradition of curricular exploration, beginning with
Hamilton Holt's 1931 conference, "The Curriculum for the Liberal
Arts College," chaired by John Dewey, and sustained by Rita
Bornstein's 1997 Rollins Colloquy, "Toward a Pragmatic Liberal
Education: The Curriculum of the 21st Century," which featured
leading higher-education theorists.
The
2007 gathering included keynotes by Maya Angelou, Francis Fukuyama,
and Salman Rushdie, along with panels of other notable thought leaders
(see Colloquy Presenters). The Colloquy's goal was to engage participants in meaningful conversations about the key questions flowing from a consideration of the role of liberal education in the 21st century, leading to new directions for Rollins' curriculum. To assure productive interactions between
our guests and the Rollins community, a faculty team was developed
for each presenter.
