UID:20250508-8ac672c4967a59ee01968179419a107c@warwick.ac.uk CREATED:20250429T121529Z DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to join us for Nurturing Hope: Li beral Education\, Democracy\, and Designing Sustainable Futures\, a two- day international conference to be held at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV and Online on May 8th and 9th\, 2025. Please click the link above for the f ull conference programme. What is the relevance of Liberal Arts educatio n for the challenges we face in the twenty-first century? How can the cr itical tradition of Liberal Education nurture hope and foster democratic values? Can Liberal Arts Education lead us to designing better and more sustainable futures for ourselves\, our loved ones\, and our communitie s? These questions (and more) are at the heart of what this conference s eeks to explore. 

As Jessica Riddell writes\, the Liberal Arts can "hel p us metabolize despair\, imagine what is possible\, and create new ways of being in the world." The rise of Liberal Arts programmes in the Neth erlands\, in Germany\, and the UK over the past two decades are a testam ent to the value of this form of education in increasingly uncertain tim es. 

Through interdisciplinary talks\, panel discussions\, and engaging workshops\, this conference will explore the value of Liberal Arts educ ation today\, its critical link with democratic values\, and consider ho w this approach to learning can help us foster hope within ourselves\, o ur communities\, our institutions\, and our world. Liberal Arts educatio n has always been interlaced with hope: hope for a more expansive presen t\; hope for a deeper understanding of ourselves\; hope for a richer app reciation of the past\; and hope in our human abilities to creatively cr aft more hope-full futures. As ÌÇÐÄTV's Liberal Arts programme moves in to its tenth year in 2026\, and the University celebrates its 60th anniv ersary in 2025\, this conference seeks to spark thoughtful conversations around the role of Liberal Education today\, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. In doing so\, it aims to revisit and further the vision of ÌÇÐÄTV’s foundational alliance\, who firmly believed that the idea of a holistic liberal arts education should sit at the core of the University’s broader educational mission (as described by Patel 2023). The conference will feature talks from international speakers\, experts in Liberal Arts education\, ÌÇÐÄTV staff and students\, and members of the UK SLAE network (Society for Liberal Arts Education). Through our di scussions we hope to shed light on different approaches to the Liberal A rts today\, while also highlighting the innovative and unique aspects of this centuries-old\, interdisciplinary\, civic-minded tradition in whic h true human flourishing is made possible through the nurturing of hope itself. Registration is free and the conference will be fully hybrid. We welcome staff\, students\, and anyone interested in Liberal Education t o take part. You can register at the following link: registration form.
