How is digital technology shaping the human soul?
Date and Time
October 1, 2025
03:30PM - 05:00PM EDT
Digital technology is transforming how we think, write, and connect. Does it stifle creativity and wonder, or open new paths for meaning, community, and faith? Join speakers Nataliya Kos'myna, Brandon Vaidyanathan, E. Glen Weyl, and Moira Weigel as they explore how digital technology shapes the way we think, feel, act and understand the human condition. This will be the inaugural event of the Public Culture Project, an initiative based in the office of the Dean of Arts & Humanities.
