Master of Liberal Arts Saturday Seminar Series 'The Quality of Mercy'

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.
