Vincentian Chair of Social Justice
8th Biennial Vincentian Chair of Social Justice Conference:
"Educational Justice: Opportunity, Inclusion and Social Equity for All"
October 26, 2013
12:45 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
D'Angelo Center Rm. 416
St. John's University
Historically in the United States, education has served as a consistent and sustainable means of alleviating individual poverty and reducing social inequality. Today, while the developing nations live on that same hope, the developed world has found that education as a poverty reliever and social equalizer has lost ground. The God-given dignity inherent in each person demands that all experience the liberating and enhancing influence of education as a basic human right. During this conference, we will reflect on the manner in which educational policy and practice have in the past and must in the future contribute to poverty alleviation, social advancement and human solidarity.
