The Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) Saturday Seminar Series is sponsored by the Master of Liberal Arts program and University College. Last year’s series examined “The Value of Justice”; this year we turn our attention to justice’s frequent partner, complement, or antithesis: Mercy
Join us as we consider the concept and practice of mercy from several disciplinary directions, including politics, medicine, religious studies, and literature.
