Art-Based Research in Times of Climate and Social Change
This two-day symposium aims to envision a future in which arts and design are understood to be central to the success of every complex problem. The focus of the program will be to highlight the importance of art-based research and education, particularly in times of climate change and social unrest. It is through the arts that the scope of human experience in creativity, innovation, empathy, culture, and knowledge is learned, expressed, and distributed; both for the common good and the development of the individual. By highlighting collaborative research between artists, humanists, scientists, and other researchers and scholars, the symposium will attempt to demonstrate the important role of art research in academia at this critical time.
This symposium is one of three events in a larger series. See the complete listing here.
