San Domenico School's Global Responsibility Forum
In
2004, the San Domenico Upper School instituted a Global Responsibility
Forum. In the Upper School, we recognize that one of our strengths is
how students and faculty address the challenges facing our world. Our
school Mission and Dominican tradition call us to respond with
integrity to the needs of our times.
In acknowledging our commitment as global citizens to social justice
& truth, we seek additional ways to learn more about challenges to
human rights, to the environment, to justice, and to the relationship
between religion and politics in international affairs. The Global
Responsibility Forum focuses on these topics through a variety of
activities, including a speaker series that involves our campus
ministry program, international relations teachers, and social justice
club.
Past speakers have included Rev. Stephen Privett, President of
University of San Francisco, Mark Danner, Professor of Graduate School
of Journalism at University of California at Berkeley, and Paula
Huntley, author of The Hemingway Bookclub of Kosovo.
