Professor Murphy has been invited to participate in a symposium on the Humanities to be held at Columbia University’s Center for the Core Curriculum October 14th & 15th, 2011. The forum will be to explore ways to expand the reach and depth of humanistic learning in higher education and to identify and help shape sustainable funding models and partnerships. The hope for the symposium is to connect educators with ideas about how to broaden and strengthen undergraduate liberal education with public and private sources of potential support.
