Past conferences

Participants in the 2016 Student Empowerment Conference reflected on the nature of cultural traditions and how cultural struggles affect social identity, mobility and community. Presenters represented a range of disciplines and interdisciplinary perspectives. Read their work.  

For the 2015 Student Empowerment Conference, participants were asked to consider these questions: “How do class, race and gender complicate life on campus and in the wider world? How are our everyday experiences shaped by power relationships? What is the relationship between power and knowledge?” Read their work.   

Vision Statement

The questions posed by scholars in the Arts, and the answers their research provides, hold deep and enduring value; they provide a forum for intellectual inquiry that is not available anywhere else. As a collegial community of professors, students, administrators and staff, we are committed to the principles expressed in our vision statement. Click below to read our vision statement, or click here for a PDF version.
