The Program
Full Program
We are thrilled to hold our 36th annual meeting in New York City this year hosted at The Manhattan School of Music!
Our theme is Perspectives on Polarities: Thinking Below the Surface. We have received an amazing collection of paper and workshop proposals and are confident that we will have a stimulating and thought-provoking time together.
This year’s Symposium will feature three interactive panels in place of keynotes addressing some of the most vexing “polarities” we face today: Leadership in polarized times, Structural racism, and Intractable international conflicts
Institute Workshops are offered Monday through Wednesday for a full day, half-day and two-days, as noted after the title.
Breakfast is served from 8:00-9:00 Monday to Sunday
