Seeking the Common Good Series
Learn and reflect about the meaning of the common good and engage in exploration of major public issues.
The yearlong series of public events "Seeking the Common Good" reflects the McKeen Center’s role to encourage and support learning and reflection about the meaning of the common good and to promote exploration of major public issues.Emphasizing cross-disciplinary engagement in inquiry and debate that reaches beyond Bowdoin, this series links the study of topics in academic courses to their exploration in a multiplicity of other venues.Lectures, symposia, films, exhibitions and performances in this series will focus on particular visions for achieving some element of “the common good” through examination of compelling problems or issues, and efforts to address them locally, nationally and internationally.
