A pared down schedule of the in-person SAR 2020 Global Congress events originally scheduled to be held in Washington and Baltimore will take place on a virtual format over Zoom on Thursday, March 26th, and Friday, March 27th. The registration for the conference is already open.
Scholar at Risk (SAR) Network members and partners around the world will explore the theme Truth, Power & Society: The Promise of Higher Educations in Challenging Times, because in times of historic challenges not only for higher education, but for society in general, truth itself is under attack.
That's why the Virtual Global Congress, marking SAR’s 20th year of service to the higher education community, points to three core roles of higher education in responding to these attacks: Truth (research and teaching leading to new insights and understanding), Power (evidence-based contributions to public discourse and policy) and Society (meaningful engagement with the broadest public good).
