Digital Humanism and LAS Education
Online Event
9:00 am – 10:30 am
EDT/GMT-4
9 AM New York l 3 PM Vienna
The Liberal Arts and Sciences Collaborative presents Allison Stanger in a public event where she will facilitate an overview of digital humanism and explore the ways in which digital humanism intersects with liberal arts and sciences education, including in relation to fostering a well-rounded, ethical, and socially responsible approach to knowledge and technology. Stanger will examine how digital humanism and LAS education prepare individuals to navigate the complexities of the digital age with wisdom, empathy, and a commitment to the greater good.
Digital humanism is an emerging approach that addresses the critical role of human values, ethics, and interests in the development and application of digital technologies. It advocates for technology to be designed and deployed in a way that respects human dignity, freedom, and democracy, rather than serving economic or technical efficiency.
This perspective is a response to the growing impact of digital technologies on all aspects of human life, including work, privacy, communication, and governance. Digital humanism calls for a more inclusive and participatory approach to technology development, where the needs and rights of individuals and communities are prioritized. It recognizes the potential of digital technology to enhance human capabilities and address global challenges, and is also critically aware of the risks of surveillance, manipulation, and inequality that can arise from unchecked technological advancement.
Allison Stanger is the Russell Leng ‘60 Professor of International Politics and Economics at Middlebury College, a Co-Director and Principal Investigator at the GETTING-Plurality Research Network (Harvard University), an External Professor and Science Board member at the Santa Fe Institute, and a Senior Advisor to the Hannah Arendt Humanities Network. Recently, Allison was a Research Scholar at the Human-Centered AI Institute (Stanford University).

Liberal Education in Illiberal Contexts: Student Perspectives from Hungary and the United States
Online Event
9:00 am – 10:00 am
EDT/GMT-4
9 AM New York l 2 PM Vienna
A rise in authoritarianism, often associated with growing populism and nationalism, has created conditions for a new wave of opposition to liberal education. This vital event brings together students studying in liberal education programs in which higher education has come under attack: Hungary and the US. Both places have seen significant shifts in their political and educational climates, and in many instances, debates over academic freedom and the role of education in democracy have taken center stage.
Through personal anecdotes, insightful discussions, and a Q&A session, our panelists will explore the nuances of being liberal arts and sciences students in environments that may not always embrace the open-mindedness and critical thinking these disciplines advocate. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the global landscape of liberal education in diverse political climates and will be invited to engage with firsthand accounts of the unyielding pursuit of intellectual growth against the backdrop of illiberalism.

Engaged Research Global Webinar: Working with Professionals to Develop Skills–Integrating
Academic and Endogenous Knowledge
Online Event
9:00 am – 10:30 am
EDT/GMT-4
9 AM New York l 2 PM Vienna
Amplifying the Voices of Engaged Researchers Around the World
, an initiative created by OSUN and the Talloires Network of Engaged Universities, supports the development of long-term, sustainable community partnerships as a central component of research. This community of practice (COP) meets regularly to share ideas and strategies for engaged scholarship across geo-political boundaries, while creating new knowledge and lasting ties among engaged researchers. Now the COP is presenting a series of global webinars spolighting issues that arise during presenters' experiences with community engagement.
This workshop provides an opportunity to reflect on the pedagogical, epistemological, methodological, and political implications of working with communities to improve or develop professional skills in engaged research processes. The six presenters are developing projects which involve training members of the community to apply certain techniques.
They will discuss how their projects address the following dilemmas: How can we develop professional skills in ways that preserve and nurture Indigenous / endogenous wisdom? How do we deal with moral, practical or technical discrepancies about professional work between academic researchers and local practitioners? In what way is the introduction of methods or techniques in local communities colonialist, and what cautions should we take to prevent epistemological colonialism?
After the presentations, audience members are invited to join the discussion so they can reference their own engaged research work.

Online Event
12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
EST/GMT-5
12 PM New York l 6 PM Vienna
The OSUN Center for Human Rights and the Arts presents Molemo Moiloa, discussing the notion of becoming ungovernable in an effort to tap into our capacities to form new worlds in times of collapse. She shares her interdisciplinary contemporary practice, which centers on land justice and heritage restitution, anchored in South Africa’s histories of resistance and world-building. The talk discusses developing strategies for collective and collaborative processes and forms of knowledge. Building from localized and Indigenous understandings, Moiloa draws on the deep connection with and guidance from other parts of the African continent.
Molemo Moiloa lives in Johannesburg and works in various capacities at the intersection of creative practice and community organizing. Her current research focuses on notions of ungovernability, social infrastructures of cultural organizing, and relationships with nature. She is one half of the artist collaboration MADEYOULOOK, which explores everyday popular imaginaries and their modalities for knowledge production. Moiloa also co-leads the Open Restitution Africa project, a research platform for the restitution of African heritage under the auspices of Andani.Africa.

Climate, Censorship, and Culture Wars: Climate Education During Global Backlash
Online Event
11:00 am – 12:00 pm
EST/GMT-5
11 AM New York l 5 PM Vienna
Bard College and Black Mountains College invite the OSUN community to attend an online cross-national dialogue concerning the political backlash against climate education.
2023 marked a perilous year for climate-concerned educators around the world. According to PEN America, the U.S. has seen the spread of state-level legislation that has a chilling effect on public education. The chief aim of such legislation is to shape classroom discussions on race, gender, and increasingly, climate change. These efforts have both mirrored and differed from disputes in Europe, where governments have criminalized and censored climate protest and more radical forms of climate advocacy on university campuses.
In this context, the question of how we approach educating students on the climate crisis becomes urgent. As climate-concerned educators, we have a duty to prepare our students for the world that they’re inheriting, but we must also ask ourselves this: how do we navigate this work during a time when climate education is increasingly politicized and censored in our schools? And what strategies can we learn from science educators on the forefront of this issue in the U.S. and Europe?
Speakers for the webinar include:
James Dyke (Associate Professor in Earth Systems Science, the University of Exeter), who has navigated these questions and conducted crucial research on the role of the university during climate crisis.
Blake Touchet (Science Education Specialist, National Center for Science Education), who has taught middle school, high school, and undergraduate biology and environmental sciences in Louisiana, most recently serving as Science Master Teacher for Lafayette Parish School District. He has worked on state and district committees for developing curricula, providing assessments, and mentoring science teachers. With NCSE, Touchet helps further NCSE’s mission of helping educators teach accurately on climate and evolution. In addition, he supports NCSE's mission to block threats to science education in the U.S.

Freedom to Learn in Florida: An Advocacy Workshop with PEN America
Online Event
2:30 pm – 3:45 pm
EST/GMT-5
2:30 PM New York l 8:30 PM Vienna
Since 2021, legislation that restricts instruction on race, gender, American history and LGBTQ+ identities continues to be introduced and passed in various U.S. states with more and more frequency. In higher education especially, legislators have introduced bills that attack the traditional support networks that protect academic freedom—things like proposed restrictions on curricula, faculty tenure, and DEI offices and initiatives. And students are feeling the effects.
In such an environment, is there any room to push back? How can students advocate for themselves and their peers on college campuses in a way that is both effective and safe?
PEN America, in conjunction with
AltLiberalArts
, is proud to host this advocacy event for students, educators and activists. Attendees will receive an overview of what are known as educational gag orders and how they are shaping the political and legal environment in Florida, and engage in a discussion on how they can mobilize and organize around these issues on their own campuses anywhere.
Panelists:
Nicholas Perez, Free Expression and Education Program Manager at PEN America
Peris Tushabe, Free Expression and Education Program Coordinator at PEN America
Jacqueline Allain, Freedom to Learn Program Coordinator at PEN America

James Taylor Carson: Rethinking a Bachelor of Arts for the 21st-Century Precariat
Online Event
8:00 am – 9:30 am
EST/GMT-5
8 AM New York l 2 PM Vienna
The LAS Collaborative invites the OSUN community to an event with James Taylor Carson, speaking about his 2022 article “
Rethinking a Bachelor of Arts for the 21st-Century Precariat."
The article focuses on the emergence of the neoliberal university, rapid changes to the world of work, and the unravelling of the Western social contract. In an era of fake news and pandemic, this has created a set of circumstances that define emerging university graduates as members of a global precariat. Several projections of the future world of work suggest a need to shift the imperatives of a university education away from career preparation and disciplinary training and toward a set of skills and capacities that are similar to those that hold the core of a liberal arts education. Notwithstanding public doubt and neoliberal antipathy, with a bit of rethinking, the Bachelor of Arts can emerge as the essential degree for 21st-century-undergraduates.
This 90-minute event will be conducted as an interactive talk, welcoming frequent audience participation as we engage with the importance and promotion of undergraduate liberal arts education as both an intellectual and experiential preparation for a precarious world, enabling graduates to shape how the future unfolds.
James Taylor Carson is a professor of history at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and editor of the
Queen’s Quarterly
, one of Canada’s leading journals of arts, letters and ideas. He has served as associate dean in the Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen’s and as head of the School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. His most recent book,
The Columbian Covenant: Race and the Writing of American History
, explores how racial beliefs have informed American historiography from Columbus to the present.
