Sharing knowledge, transforming higher ed

Requirements: Please bring some paper and a writing implement (not digital), as you will need them during this session.

In this interactive talk, noted scholar of technology and higher education Cathy N. Davidson addresses the legacy institutions we’ve inherited from the Industrial Age and the radically different conditions facing students, higher education, and society more general today, She proposes an array of transformations any of us can enact in our classrooms, in our colleges and universities, and (perhaps most profoundly) in the ways we think about our own role in higher education and society at large.

This talk is drawn from Davidson’s “How We Know” trilogy of books (2011-2022) and her work with the Futures Initiative and HASTAC (called by NSF “the world’s first and oldest academic social network”).
