Conference on Human Scale and Human Good

Tomorrow, our friends at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and at Front Porch Republic are co-sponsoring a conference at Mt. St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD.

“Human Scale and the Human Good: Creating Healthy Communities in a Global Age” will explore the impact of globalization on communities, the relationship of scale to human flourishing, and the ways that a Liberal Arts education prepares students to think about the social order. The list of speakers are Philip Bess, Allan C. Carlson, David Cloutier, Patrick Deneen, Rod Dreher, Josh Hochschild, Bill Kaufman, Mark Mitchell, Jason Peters, Christine Rosen, John Schwenkler, Caleb Stegall, and Will Morrow.
