NYC WISDOM SEMINAR
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY
JUNE 14-16, 2017
From June 14-16, 2017 Fordham University will host a three-day seminar exploring the connections between wisdom and adversity.
Some central questions include: What is wisdom, and how might it be measured or promoted? Why is it that some experiences of adversity lead to wisdom while others are more purely negative? How can we cultivate character traits that help to promote wisdom from adversity?
