In this "Academic Futurology" discussion on "The Art of the Faculty Meeting," Michael Merson (Wolfgang Joklik Professor of Global Health & Director of the Duke Global Health Institute) shares his ideas for re-inventing the meeting format.
Part of the FHI’s Mellon Humanities Futures initiative, Academic Futurology invites humanists to think proactively and creatively about the pragmatics of academic life, from "traditional" structures like the faculty meeting or lecture course to emerging forms such as the Humanities Lab.
Humanities Futures is a multi-year exploration of the futures of the humanities, in the wake of the interdisciplinary developments of recent decades.
