HNGR 2023-24 Symposium Poster
2023-2024 Symposium Series in Human Needs and Global Resources

Borders, Belonging, and New Creation

For the Fall 2023 HNGR Symposium, we will consider how borders figure into our thinking, imagining, relating, and living. How does our bordering - our actions of border-making - shape our practices of belonging? How might our anticipated future of new creation influence our present-day border practices?

Listen and learn with us through a series of events during the 2023-2024 school year.
