ArtScience: COVID Response
Spring 2021: A Session, iCourse
Leo Lab Series
What is Art&Sci or ArtScience?
—————————————————————
How can it contribute to responding to COVID?
—————————————————————
Can it dissolve boundaries between traditional disciplines, geographies, and languages?
—————————————————————
Investigate the reasons behind pandemic-related misinformation that creates public confusion, and how to cut through it.
We will explore what ArtScience is and how it can help examine imminent changes to our healthcare, economy, and other social systems. Through interpretation, analysis, and engagement with research-driven and creative practices, we will challenge each other to consider how interdisciplinarity can respond to this crisis to build a better future. You will be working alongside a Nobel Prize Winner in Physiology, a social impact strategy firm CEO, a learning technology expert, and members of national and global leading cultural and scientific communities. Together, with the collaboration from your peers, students will address implications of COVID on social challenges by experimenting with interdisciplinary practices.
