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.
