UW Educational Sciences Building 1025 W. Johnson St., Madison, Wisconsin 53706
press release: Educational research has become almost exclusively confined to the social sciences. In his talk, Sam Rocha will discuss the widespread forgetting of the humanities as an archive of knowledge and research that predates the social sciences, and will propose a radical return to the tradition of the humanities.
Samuel D. Rocha was born in Brownsville, Texas in 1982. Rocha attended Franciscan University of Steubenville as an undergraduate, completing a B.A. in philosophy and Spanish literature as a Gates Millennium Scholar in 2005.
