SUMMARY:Graduate Program in Social & Political Thought 50th Anniversary Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Graduate Program in Social & Political Thought (SPTH) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this academic year. The interdisciplinary program was launched in York’s early days by faculty in several departments across the humanities and social sciences to foster the study and teaching of innovative forms of critical thought in the areas of culture, society and politics. The program has also long been host to many members very active in social justice movements and contemporary art scenes.
