Abstract

To liberate: to set free, as from imprisonment or bondage. When the committee sat down to develop a theme for the 10th annual Humanities Symposium, a theme that coincided with the “Belmont Questions” theme of Wealth & Poverty, we immediately began to talk about voice, about the ways in which the Humanities gives voice to a variety of experiences. It didn’t take us long to agree that the Symposium’s theme would be “Liberating Voices,” for the Humanities both liberates people’s voices and sees the sharing of those voices as liberating.
