Equity vs. Equality and the Politics of Recognition
Join HxA at Virginia Tech for their next Sunday Salon on equity vs. equality and the politics of recognition. These events feature curated conversations on topics connected to higher education that revolve around selected readings ranging in topic, focus, and viewpoints. In keeping with the general theme of HxA, most of our readings will consider divergent viewpoints on a particular topic.
