The Center for Science, Technology and Society (CSTS) and the Weiner Endowment for the Humanities invite the campus community to attend a symposium Nov. 5-6 focused on the question: What does the “and” mean in arts and sciences at a STEM-focused university?

The event begins with a reception and art exhibit opening by Melissa Bauer at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, on the second floor of the Curtis Laws Wilson Library. Faculty presentations will be held 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, in the Carver-Turner Room of the Havener Center.

The keynote speaker will be Luke Kautz, clinical assistant professor of digital fabrication and 3D modeling in the GAME School at Arizona State University. His presentation is titled “Techno-Aesthetics and the Civic Canvas: Engineering an Infrastructure of Care.”

The symposium will explore interdisciplinary scholarship, the future of disciplinary boundaries and how research can address emerging national and global challenges.

Learn more about the symposium.

If you have questions, email Dr. Kathleen Sheppard, director of CSTS, or Dr. Margret Grebowicz, the Maxwell C. Weiner Distinguished Professor of Humanities.
