On April 28th<\/sup><\/strong> the College of the Humanities<\/a> at Carleton will be hosting a one day workshop that seeks to bridge the gap between Great Books and good business.\u00a0 The Culture of<\/em> Commerce<\/em> workshop will bring together professors from across North America drawn from programs in Commerce, Humanities and the Social Sciences.\u00a0 The aim of the workshop is to develop a first-year curriculum for Commerce and Business students that grounds them in the art, culture and literature of commercial society.\u00a0 The workshop will consider everything from Rembrandt\u2019s Syndics of the Draper\u2019s Guild <\/em>to Frederic Bastiat\u2019s Who Feeds Paris <\/em>and the Frank Capra classic It\u2019s A Wonderful Life. <\/em><\/p>\n

The College of the Humanities<\/a> was founded on the idea that the study of culture provides our students with the vital metaphor, example and context that shaped life in the past and continue to inform it in the present. \u00a0The fundamentally communicative character of commercial culture, with its emphasis on cooperation, consent and individual autonomy, asks more <\/em>of culture than other social systems. Perhaps contrary to popular expectation then, commerce students more than most may require the resources traditionally offered by the Great Books. \u00a0It is this reality that the workshop seeks to address by developing course materials and encouraging connections between the humanities and business programs.<\/p>\n

This workshop, chaired by Geoffrey C. Kellow<\/a>, Associate Professor in the College of the Humanities, was made possible by a generous grant from the Hecht Foundation.<\/p>\n
