Recapping IDEAS Week 2025! Thank you all for joining us for a week of interdisciplinary encounters and exchange. Our theme for this year, “Art and Activism,” probed the capacity of creative expression to engage communities and galvanize social transformation.

Yesterday the ILA's Juniors and Seniors presented at our yearly Spring Symposium, showing us all of the work they've done on their theses.

They all did fantastic and should be proud of that hard work that they've put forth! We're so thankful for you all!

Another fabulous @emory_ila class that changed lives! “what does it mean to be human” is the core of the kinds of questions we love to wrestle with!

[Emory Institute for the Liberal Arts @emory_ila]

As the semester winds down, our last IDS 220 class (What Does it Mean to be Human?) stopped for a photo.

It was a joy to have all of you in class this semester!
