Myra Strober - "Interdisciplinary Conversations: Challenging Habits of Thought"

Founding Director of the Clayman Institute and Professor at both the School of Education and Graduate School of Business (by courtesy), Myra Strober will discuss her new book "Interdisciplinary Conversations: Challenging Habits of Thought". The book lays out a clear vision of how to realize the creative potential of interdisciplinary conversations."This book is a timely and important resource for all of us who are working to facilitate communication across disciplines. It is clear that solutions to the thorniest problems of the 21st century will require interdisciplinary collaboration, but, as Dr. Strober illustrates, the collaborative process is neither easy nor intuitive. This book provides valuable guidance about how to build those bridges across the disciplinary divides that will allow for more creative and effective problem-solving by experts from diverse fields."—John L. Hennessy, President, Stanford UniversityFree and open to all. Books will be available for purchase. Light refreshments will be served.
