New director maps social justice to Honors Program landscape
Oct 1, 2014
This fall, the University Honors Program welcomed a new director, Victoria Lawson, professor of geography, internationally-recognized scholar on global poverty and co-founder of the Relational Poverty Network. “Honors is amazing. It drew me in because of what it does,” says Lawson. “One of the things we share is a commitment to trying to tackle complex problems. Honors is a place where students are forced to think about big questions and think about them through an interdisciplinary lens.”
