Overview

As artificial intelligence accelerates change across every industry, the enduring importance of the liberal arts has never been clearer. Dean of UVA’s College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Christa Acampora explores how a liberal arts education equips students with the critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and cultural understanding essential for navigating a rapidly evolving world.



Speaker Biography

Christa Davis Acampora, Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences

Christa Davis Acampora serves as the Buckner Clay Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Virginia.

Since Acampora arrived in 2022, Arts & Sciences has realized significant progress toward its strategic priorities, including: implementing a new First Year curriculum introducing students to the wonder and discovery of a liberal arts education; transforming undergraduate pre-major advising; realizing unprecedented growth in the endowment for the Graduate School; increasing graduate student support by more than fifty percent; greatly expanding resources supporting faculty research and creative activity; and increasing success in faculty and staff recruitment, recognition, and retention.

Acampora specializes in modern European philosophy, moral psychology, and aesthetics. Her current research examines moral transformation, injury, and repair in various contexts, including the experiences of veterans, healthcare workers, and other populations.

Prior to joining UVA, she served as Deputy Provost and Professor of Philosophy at Emory University and previously taught at the CUNY Graduate Center and Hunter College, where she also served as Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs and Research.
