The 2024 NetVUE Conference is just around the corner, and we are looking forward to hosting over (how many institution teams?) in Atlanta this March 21-23! The three plenary speakers will provide perspectives on the overall conference theme, “Vocations for the Life of the World,” exploring various dimensions of the intersection of self and other:
Keynote Address: Called to Understand and Advocate for the Common Good
Meghan Sullivan, Rev. John A. O’Brien Collegiate Chair and Professor of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame (IN)
Roundtable Plenary: Hunger, Hubris, and Community-Engaged Learning: Strategies for Slowing Down, Going Deeper, and Doing Bettered to Understand and Advocate for the Common Good
Darby Kathleen Ray, Donald W. and Ann M. Harward Professor of Civic Engagement and Professor of Religious Studies, Bates College (ME)
Closing Plenary: Called to Ethical Leadership at Intersections Where Worlds Collide
Walter Earl Fluker, Distinguished Professor of Howard Thurman Center, Hartford International University for Religion and Peace; Martin Luther, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Ethical Leadership and Editor of the Howard Thurman Papers Project, Boston University
