In this time of flux and dramatic cultural shifts around higher education, we must take the time to cultivate responsive academic environments. This full-day event was aimed at generating fresh approaches around our topics of collaboration, innovation and leadership in academic settings. A series of panels, hosted by the Center for the Humanities and the Office of Public Scholarship, featured visiting speakers as well as WashU faculty members who are dynamic examples at this increasingly important nexus.
Participants and audience members were invited to discuss urgent topics concerning the support of innovative and collaborative academic work in the humanities and beyond.
Our goals for this day were to hear stories of effective collaboration across disciplines, to celebrate models of innovative academic work and to reinforce the importance of visionary leadership in higher education today.
