We are eager to provide opportunities for the scholarly growth which in turn informs our ACS classrooms. As the Villanova Center for Liberal Education has grown over the years, we have expanded into wider areas of interdisciplinary inquiry. First, the VCLE sponsors two sets of lecture series: the Birmingham lectures and the Barbieri lectures.
The Birmingham lecture and discussion series features faculty from other departments speaking on their research, and the Barbieri lecture series features the research of senior Ennis and Gallen fellows. These lecture series are particularly important as they allow our faculty to network with faculty in other departments.
