College Symposium to be held in the Pillow Room

This year, the College is inaugurating a new symposium designed to bring together faculty and students for informal discussion of a subject of common interest.

The first symposium will be held on Tuesday, October 16th from 1:30 to 3:00 in the Library's Pillow Room. The theme of the first symposium will be "John Dewey and the Educational Philosophy of Sarah Lawrence College." A chapter from Dewey's Democracy and Education will the starting point of the discussons. Four panelists--Barbara Schecter from Psychology, Ilja Wachs from Literature, Ray Clarke from Biology and Rose Ann Thom from Dance--will speak briefly about Dewey's text and their teaching experience to get the discussion started.

You may access the chapter in MySLC here.
