Institutes and Events
Since its inception, CLASS has been pleased to host institutes and events dedicated to its goal of engaging in research focused on issues of the liberal arts in secular society.
Among these events is the The Axworthy Distinguished Lecture Series on Social Justice and the Public Good, through which The University of Winnipeg each year welcomes researchers, social commentators and political leaders to deliver free lectures, open to the public, on social justice issues involving gender, religion and secularism, Indigeneity, language, ethnicity and race, ecology, and economy.
