The FAS Senate Forum on Educators, Education, Civil Society, and the Current Crisis” (for video click here) took place on February 16, 2021. FAS Senate Chair Matthew Jacobson called on colleagues at Yale and across the country to consider what the present crisis requires of us. What does it require of us as educators whose classrooms are devoted to the empiricism, the spirit of intellectual honesty, and the reverence for truth that have come under assault? What does it require of us as guides to the young people in our care? What does it require of us as stakeholders in the university, an institution so central to the civil society that has become dangerously frayed. We are mistaken, if we believe that our obligations, our roles, and the nature of our work remain unchanged by this unspooling national crisis. Like very few moments in a generation and more, this one requires us to rise to the full responsibility—I might even say nobility—of our calling. In the coming days the FAS Senate will host a faculty-wide discussion of these questions—an opportunity to think together and to hear from one another on the ways in which scholars, educators, and educational institutions best meet such moments of societal stress and crisis.
