SUMMARY:Science (as) Culture: The 1000 Year View & How to Get There
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the table for part three of an intimate yet challenging 3-part multi-disciplinary exchange of ideas that gives everyone the opportunity to be heard and aims to change how we as a society think about\, learn about\, and talk about art\, science and technology. \nFree\, space is limited\, RSVP. \nWith Special Guests:\nHarvey Seifter – Founder & Director\, Art of Science Learning\, and Principal Investigator of its two National Science Foundation grants. Harvey is one of the world’s leading authorities on organizational creativity and arts‐based learning. \nPamela Smith – Seth Low Professor of History\, Director of the Center for Science and Society\, Columbia University; specializes in early modern European history and the history of science; current research focuses on attitudes to nature in early modern Europe and the Scientific Revolution\, with particular attention to craft knowledge and historical techniques. \nMatthew Stanley – Associate Professor History & Philosophy of Science\, NYU Gallatin; is interested in the connections between science and the wider culture. Current projects include a history of scientific predictions of the end of the world and he is part of a nationwide National Science Foundation-funded effort to use the humanities to improve science education in the college classroom. \nMary Suk – a contributive force in the New York art community through her work as a choreographer\, arts educator\, and modern dancer. Her dances have been performed at Joyce SoHo\, Merce Cunningham Studio\, Aaron Davis Hall\, Teachers College\, Bates Summer Dance Festival and Soundance Studio. \nDavid Thompson – co-founder\, Connect with STEM; previously Director of Organizational Engagement in the pharmaceutical industry (Boehringer Ingelheim)\, David has explored a variety of problems spanning science across academia and industry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nScience (as) Culture: a three part ‘dinner’ conversation \nScientists make discoveries\, engineers design new technologies\, artists create multi-media installations contemplating how the world works\, corporations develop and distribute new products\, policymakers\, researchers\, creatives\, and grassroots movements alike attempt to create positive impacts\, while some people instead either choose to remain a passive observer or feel their voice goes unheard. \nIdeally\, all of these actors could work together at all stages of scientific and technological development to ensure the best outcomes for society as a whole. However\, integrating these often disparate and sometimes competing fields—labs\, creative spaces\, corporations\, universities\, funding organizations\, movements\, governing bodies\, and communities—is challenging. \nLigo Project is working to dissolve those boundaries and to tackle this challenge with creativity. \nJoin us at the table for an intimate yet challenging 3-part multi-disciplinary discussion that gives everyone the opportunity to be heard and aims to change how we as a society think about\, learn about\, and talk about art\, science and technology. \nBe part of the conversation by taking a seat at the table. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 1 – Integration of Science & Society: the current view? \nMarch 30th\, Pratt Institute \nPart 2 – Fostering Creativity & Social Responsiveness to Science and within Science \nApril 27th\, Pratt Institute \nPart 3 – Science as Culture: the 1000-year view & how to get there? \nMay 18th\, Pratt Institute \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow it Works:\nScience (as) Culture will use a format inspired by Lois Weaver’s conversation as performance project ‘The Long Table’\, which is informal\, participatory & nonhierarchical. Special guests are invited to “seed” the conversation but the “audience” is invited to take a seat at the table and join in. At all points in this discussion\, it will be important not to take “progress” as self evident\, and to ask why a particular idea or research practice makes sense. The rules of engagement will be such that free thought and open exchange are highly encouraged at all times – everyone’s voice is heard. \nEvent Schedule:\nDoors: 30 min prior\nDiscussion: 90 min\nMingling afterwards: The Emerson\, 561 Myrtle Ave.
