Theories in Action Symposium

Theories in Action (TiA) is a forum that enables undergraduate seniors and their mentors to share their interdisciplinary research, leadership activities, artistic productions, community engagement, and reflections about their experiences at Brown.

TiA 2026 Website Call for Proposals

Theories in Action (TiA) 2026 offers seniors and their mentors the opportunity to share the outcomes of their interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary studies, reflect on how academic communities have shaped their experiences, and explore questions of meaning and purpose.  The various symposium formats provide senior participants with a platform for interactive, peer-facilitated discussions about their journeys and for sharing their experiences and wisdom with others.

An annual event held since 2010, TiA 2026 is redesigned this year as an opportunity for seniors and educators interested in public dialogue and reflecting on the intersection of cross-disciplinary scholarship, mentorship, and diverse learning communities.  The roundtable sessions and lightning talks will be accessible virtually via livestream; the vlog will offer another way to engage a broad audience. 

Theories in Action is co-sponsored by the Curricular Resource Center and The College, and is funded in part by The Island Fund/Engaged Life Partnership Endowment.
