Interdisciplinary Studies Conference

WHAT IS THE I.S. CONFERENCE?

The I.S. Conference is King’s unique, semi-annual, all-campus event. Regular classes are suspended in favor of presentations by special guests, workshops, films, concerts, break out sessions and more.  All this is intended to encourage an exploration of a particular topic from multiple perspectives.

WHY A CONFERENCE

Because some topics are so important and have so many interesting angles of discovery, that the best way to approach them is in a conference setting.  

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE CONFERENCE?

Everyone who wants to be illuminated, exhilarated, emancipated, elucidated, inspired, wisened, treated royally   … And everyone who wishes to graduate, because in order to graduate from King’s you need 3 credits of I.S. and you can earn these by simply attending conferences.

If you are a full-time student (not in the B.Ed. after-degree program) taking three or more courses, you MUST attend and should already be registered for the I.S. conference.
