Cristina Gonzalez, professor of Spanish and education at UC Davis gave this talk Jan. 18, 2012. Reflecting on Clark Kerr's "The Uses of the University," Gonzalez argues that universities must try to be an uplifting agent in this time of crisis. She further maintains that, since administrations now are focused almost exclusively on coping, it is up to the faculty to lead. Gonzales' talk is part of the UC Davis Humanities Institute's ongoing series.
