2020 PIT CONVENING | EMBEDDING HUMANISTIC VALUES IN STEM
Channel: New America
Date: 2020-12-07

Dr Lawrence Ragan will moderate a panel on humanistic values in STEM education. Ariel Anbar and Punya Mishra will discuss the state of play in STEM and the fact that we are underprepared at multiple levels for the economic, environmental, and societal disruptions that accompany the advance of global civilization and technology.

 With the assistance of Richard Pitt, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California San Diego, the panel will ask the question whether humanistic knowledge of values is what will remedy this problem and Roba Abbas, Lecturer in Digital Business will discuss engaging students in the research-teaching nexus, to ensure learning-by-doing. 

Humanistic knowledge includes attributes that provide a learner with a vision and narrative of the self within social contexts, scaling from local to global.
