Colleagues, Missy Seate (a UNC CH alumna) tipped me off to this event. I think it's very relevant to our work and experiences here, and I think many of us would profit from attending.
Science and the Humanities in Dialogue
Thursday, April 23 | 6-8 p.m.
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
Complimentary and open to the public, pre-registration preferred.
RSVP online today!
Recently science and the humanities have been portrayed as adversaries in the search for knowledge despite the fact that both are considered ?liberal arts.? The evening will feature a moderated conversation between Joe Templeton, Francis Preston Venable Professor of Chemistry, and Lloyd Kramer, professor of history and faculty director of the Humanities Program, who will explore the relationship between these two areas of human inquiry. Topics for discussion will include: What are the roles of the humanities and sciences in the production of human knowledge? What can they learn from each other? How can these two fields of human inquiry be reconciled in a balanced model of education? The panelists will also take questions from the audience. We invite all alumni and science fans to join us from 6-7 p.m. for a reception. The formal program will begin at 7 p.m.
