Human Universals: Facts and/or Fiction?

The Third Sarah Lawrence symposium will be held on Tuesday, April 22, from 1:30 to 3:30 in the Library's Pillow Room. The topic of the symposium is "Human Universals: Facts and/or Fiction?" What do all humans share? How do we talk intelligently about human commonalities and differences? What does the term "human" imply? These and other questions will be discussed by Nancy Baker (Philosophy), Leah Olson (Biology), Elizabeth Johnston (Psychology), and Robert Desjarlais (Anthropology) who will speak about these very important issues from the different perspectives of their disciplines. Michael Siff (Computer Science) will be the moderator.
