Jane Addams in the 21st Century Seminar Series
Spring 2023
Jane Addams, co-founder of the Hull House in Chicago, had a broad and lasting influence on occupational therapy and occupational science. As an academic, she directly influenced the early Chicago School, which would later produce symbolic interactionism, grounded theory, and the groundbreaking work of Erving Goffman. As a social activist, she persistently fought for inclusion and human rights for all. As a pragmatist, she encouraged reflection, dialogue, and mediation, even in the face of the most pressing, complex, political-laden problems. We introduce the 3rd Annual Jane Addams in the 21st Century Seminar Series, where we invite speakers to reflect on today’s problems in the spirit of Jane Addams.
Delivered virtually on May 23, 12:00 – 1:00 pm
