Throughout its existence, the Association for Core Texts and
Courses (ACTC) has asserted its commitment to the need for humans
to come together to speak about the scientific, the political, and
the artistic in order to live together in an enlightened fashion.
In 2004, ACTC's Tenth Annual Conference convened to re-affirm and
re-examine the value of serious reading and discussion focused
through core texts. Participants articulated the various ways by
which core text education in the liberal arts constructs and
supports different expressions of community on college campuses
around the world. Presenters asked whether it is better to
contemplate the arts simply as expressions of cultures and
traditions or to cultivate them, taking the risk that what is
valued in artistic expressions might be changed by the inventions
of teachers and the students they encourage. The essays collected
here reflect the responses of the diverse group of ACTC's members,
all of whom support the idea of liberal core text education with
the self-conscious awareness of the challenges facing liberal
education in the modern academy.
