“‘See me, feel me, touch me’: Who Says Digital Technology is a Good Thing?” by Professor ELAINE TREHARNE, Department of English, a participant in the “History of Text Technologies” cluster
The theme of the upcoming fall series was inspired by a 1959 lecture by scholar C.P. Snow that explored the cultural divide between the natural sciences and the humanities, as well as a 2009 book by Harvard psychologist Jerome Kagan, “The Three Cultures: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and the Humanities in the 21st Century.”
The topic for this spring’s series, “Why We Still Teach,” will be discussed by four distinguished and nationally recognized faculty members from Florida State. Amid years of university budget cuts, constant concerns about a faculty “brain drain,” and changing ideas about the purpose of higher education, the speakers will talk about why they still love working with students and sharing their knowledge and experiences in the fields they have made their life’s work.
The Fall 2013 series will feature faculty members speaking about their recently published books, and their thoughts related to the persistence of the book.
