Faculty/Fellows Seminar

Faculty members, junior and senior fellows, and invited guests from across the professions meet weekly for a lively, interdisciplinary seminar that aims to foster research, curricular development, and service initiatives. Guided by diverse readings and scholars from the professions, participants are gaining greater insight into the role of cultural and religious diversity in professional relationships. Because this is a working seminar, it is not open to the public. For more information, please e-mail rpp@missouri.edu.
