We're hosting a workshop on teaching progress at the university level with @SNFAgora this May. Talks from: Steve Teles, @simondhalliday, @jasoncrawford, @Afinetheorem, @matthewgburgess, @_John_Handel, @STS_News, @OhidYaqub, and more. There are a few spots left at this invitation-only event. Interested in attending? More details below.

Progress studies has emerged as a vibrant intellectual movement. But it's remained largely outside the university classroom. Most students today graduate without a basic understanding of industrial civilization, how it works, and why we need it. Call this a lack of “industrial literacy”. We want to change that.

The workshop brings together faculty across engineering, business, social science, and humanities. The goal: help university faculty design courses bringing progress studies into their own disciplines. Hosted by Steven Teles (Johns Hopkins University), @simondhalliday, and @jasoncrawford.

Three keynote course presentations: -- @Afinetheorem (U of Toronto): Progress, or How Big Things Get Done -- @simondhalliday (Johns Hopkins): New first-year seminar on progress -- @matthewgburgess (U of Wyoming): American Economic Success Other talks and discussion sessions on law, regulation, and abundance; maintaining progress; industrial policy; progress in medicine, and more.
