Events
As the intellectual hub of the college, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences extends education beyond the classroom, stimulating conversations, addressing pressing social issues, and encouraging collaborative engagement. Its many departments, programs and institutes sponsor guest speakers and a wide range of events throughout the year. Annual programs such as the Robert L. Hess Scholars in Residence, the Puerto Rican and Latino Studies Encuentro: The Possible Dreams, and BC Conversations, have given the public and the Brooklyn College Community an opportunity to hear from the MacArthur Fellow genius award winner Edwidge Danticat, listen to the music of the renowned Mexican pianists Cesar Reyes, and learn from a panel of experts on policing that included the City of New York Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.
