620 Round Table on Social Justice / 2005-2006 Series
A forum for Tampa Bay community leaders to discuss social justice issues affecting our community

 

Social Justice

 

Program Overview

The Studio@620 is launching a forum for Tampa Bay community leaders to be able to discuss issues of social justice affecting our community. The 620 Round Table on Social Justice will explore local, national and global issues that affect our lives and, all too often, infringe upon human dignity. We at The Studio@620 would like to provide an environment where we can learn from each other and grapple with the complexity of the dramatic social issues in our community. Eckerd College Professor of Political Science Bill Felice, and Dean Ron Hill from the University of South Florida School of Business, will serve as co-facilitators of the round table discussions.
