Thinking Forward Equity in Education
Forward Fest is a monthly online series that continues throughout A Year of Forward Thinking. The event features Princeton faculty and alumni exploring a range of forward-thinking topics. Sparking dialogue among the entire Princeton community — students, faculty, staff, alumni and other interested thinkers — Forward Fest explores, engages and develops bold thinking for the future.
Forward Fest is free and open to the public. The January Forward Fest focused on Equity in Education. Download a resource guide for more information on featured speakers and other Princeton forward thinkers, with links to books, articles, podcasts and more.
