2018 Fellows Forum: A Two-day Panel Discussion Event
Download Program
Agenda
What happens to knowledge out in the world? In this inter-disciplinary conversation, panelists consider crises of misunderstanding or misinformation as opportunities to think about what we think we know. How do we interpret knowledge, and what are the consequences of those interpretations?
Dr. Hannah Schwadron, Dance Studies; Dr. Paul M. Beaumont, Economics; and Nick Byrd, Philosophy, each present a real-world crisis of knowledge to which their field can offer insight. After explaining the situation, panelists respond to the following questions in round-table fashion.
How do you approach and understand this crisis? What implications does this crisis have? In what directions do you see things heading? What do you notice about the other panelists’ crises? Are there knowledge systems or models from your field that might offer insight? This lively discussion weaves together multiple disciplinary approaches with current events to help us think deeply about what and how we know.
