Our Lives and Other Worlds VI: Thinking Through Science in a Changing World

Monday, October 4, 2010; 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Wheatley Building, Room W-4-0148. Email cct@umb.edu to RSVP and for additional details.

• Join us as CCT alumni discuss their work in the areas of science, technology, and math and give us a perspective on extending the critical and creative experience to those areas. Our speakers will take turns sharing their work and be followed by some commentary by UMB faculty involved in some of these areas, and then we'll conclude with a whole-group discussion as we explore the connections between the presentations in understanding the theme of science, technology, and math and how we think about these in the modern world.
• Listen to the audio recordings of the session.
