Tisch Talks in the Humanities: The Value of Culturally Enriching Field Trips

Jay P. Greene, A88, Distinguished Professor & Head of the Department of Education Reform, University of Arkansas

October 19 | 12 pm

Rabb Room, Tisch College

Tufts Medford Campus

Join Tisch College for a brown-bag lunch discussion with Tufts alumnus Jay Greene, A88, Professor and Head of the Department of Education Reform at the University of Arkansas, and Peter Levine, Tisch College Associate Dean for Research and moderated by Diane O’Donoghue, Tisch College Senior Fellow for the Humanities. Professor Greene will share research on the decline of cultural activities in our schools, what we lose by their disappearance and how providing these culturally enriching experiences will help prepare future citizens for success.

The Initiatives in the Public Humanities at Tisch College sponsors this series of monthly brown bag lunches in 2015-16.  The Tisch Talks in the Humanities seek to identify areas of mutual interest and concern through conversations informed by contemporary civic and cultural practices.

This event is co-sponsored by the Art Education Program, Department of Education, Department of Political Science, Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development, Museum Studies Program, and Tufts University Art Gallery. Please RSVP by emailing Jessica.Byrnes@tufts.edu.
