Berry Center Partnership With St. Catharine College

St. Catharine College, a small Dominican liberal arts school just outside of Springfield, KY, has recently announced that it is entering into a partnership with the Berry Center of New Castle. Heading the agenda is an interdisciplinary program aimed at students who are “interested in farming, rural communities, local economies, agriculture, geographical sustainability, and stewardship for the land.”

The project seems to be in line with Wes Jackson’s view – a view shared by Wendell Berry — that the “upward mobility” major currently marketed at most institutions of learning must be replaced by a major in “homecoming.”
