The authors ask readers to contemplate “what should be at the center of our teaching and our student’s learning?” They discuss the philosophical argument for the need of an integrative education and address its critiques.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion led by Sophie le Blanc, doctoral student in the Department of Political Science and International Relations.
