The University Worth Fighting For

Once again in 2017-2018, the Futures Initiative will partner with HASTAC to offer events, webinars, and Twitter chats designed to tie student-centered, engaged pedagogical practices to institutional change and social justice. All are welcome to contribute to this conversation. We will share details on the Futures Initiative and HASTAC websites about how to participate in each event and conversation that we host.
