Inaugural Life of the Mind Lecture Scheduled for April 19

The Life of the Mind lecture series will kick off April 19 at 3:30-5pm in the Russell C. Myers Alumni Center. Free and open to the UC community and public, Life of the Mind features interdisciplinary conversations with UC faculty around a one-word theme. Each quarter, there are two Life of the Mind sessions with three “thought provocateurs” contributing to each session. Each scholar provides a 15-minute talk followed by audience Q&A.

The first Life of the Mind theme is “Technology.” Six distinguished faculty members will address the theme from unique and diverse perspectives:
