The Compassion Shift Speaker Series at Emory University

Organized and hosted by the Emory University’s Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics, this speaker series takes place over two days. It celebrates the work and global impact made by the Emory Compassion Center over almost three decades of a unique collaboration with Emory Presidential Distinguished Professor His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The event also kicks off a Year of Compassion at Emory––an initiative honoring the Dalai Lama’s 90^th birthday––dedicated to exploring how compassion is expressed through teaching, research, creative work, service and daily interactions.  This day’s sessions are: “Compassion and Human Flourishing” featuring Dr. Arthur C. Brooks (9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.), and “Compassion as Medicine” with Dr. Lisa Miller (11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.).
