Making Change: Working for Social Justice
During Fallcoming weekend, October 4 -6, 2002, the Kirkland Project sponsored a conference for alumni/ae and other members of the Hamilton community interested in social justice work, whether as activists or policy-shapers, as full-time workers or volunteers, as workers for social justice organizations or as reformers of established institutions. The conference featured a keynote address by Bob Moses '56, Civil Rights veteran and founder of the Algebra Project, and panel discussions with alumni/ae active in social justice work. The panels addressed topics such as "Educating for Social Change," "Writing for Social Change," "Using the Law for Social Change," and "Organizing for Social Change." This conference was made possible through the generous financial support of the Career Center, Communications and Development, and the Office of the President.
Conference mission:
Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges have a long tradition of training its students to help create a more just society. With this conference, the Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture wants to bring together a critical mass of graduates working for social change--in order to define the problems facing today's students as they go into the world, to gather ideas about how to address those problems, to encourage students to consider social change work as a career path, as well as to celebrate their contributions.
