Developing Dialogues

Each month a Professor from one of Harvard’s graduate institutions will lead a discussion, debate or talk in their area of research. The common thread tying each of the multidisciplinary sessions together is the underlying theme of global citizenship, cross cultural idealogue and international perspectives. Students will bring with them a wealth of knowledge in their domain of study. Multidisciplinary dialogues will emerge via ideas, opinion and research exchange. The outcomes will be one of holistic understanding and appreciation for viewpoints contrasted to those personally held. The series will also serve as a means to meet other graduate students from the many graduate schools at Harvard. The academic forum will house and foster relationship building ad network creation among the graduate student body.
