Cultivating a Beloved Community at Geneseo: What Do We Need?

Conceptualized by Philosophy Professor, Josiah Royce, and embodied by Civil Rights Activist, Martin Luther King, Jr., the vision of a “beloved community” has and continues to inspire many. While definitions of a beloved community are vast and varied, what they share is a commitment to care, compassion, justice, equity, and belonging. This semester we will explore what we need to cultivate a beloved community at Geneseo.

Next Dialogue: Wednesday, April 30, 2:30-3:45pm
