About Educating the Whole Human
Educating the Whole Human is a University Libraries speaker series featuring accomplished scholars whose acclaimed work, shaped by lived experience, expands how knowledge is created and understood.
The series invites students, faculty and community members to explore how these speakers combine expertise and lived experience to ask new questions, create original work and put knowledge into practice—and to consider what those approaches could make possible in their own studies, research, careers and lives.
This program is supported by a University of Colorado Boulder Impact Grant.
