Using Multiple Forms of Data to Talk about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Liberal Arts Education (Seminar 4 on Measuring the Liberal Arts)

Join us this winter term for the continuation of our public colloquium series exploring the values, dimensions, and outcomes of liberal arts education, and how they might be measured. In virtual panel discussions and seminars focused on measuring the liberal arts, academic leaders, researchers, faculty members, and national experts will gather to consider issues long central to liberal arts education, as well as its status now and in the future.

This seminar will consider ways that data has been used and can be used to address issues of access to and diversity, equity, inclusion within liberal arts education. Panelists will discuss the benefits and challenges of analyzing and interpreting these issues in relation to student experiences and outcomes, as they connect to liberal education specifically and college education more generally. What work remains to be done, and what work is most urgently needed?
