The academic landscape is constantly shifting, as we respond to social, political, technological, environmental, and demographic realities. How do we learn, lead, and thrive in a world of perpetual change while we create an educational ecosystem that centres human flourishing? Join three U of T thought leaders as they explore new possibilities. In this session, we’ll dive into thought-provoking questions: Are we open to learning from our students as much as they learn from us? Can a willingness to admit "I don’t know" be a defining trait of a leader? How can we use playfulness and vulnerability as cornerstones for environments where teacher and student both thrive? Through shared insights and collective imagination, we’ll explore how our academic community can be reinvented to foster human flourishing. Don’t miss this chance to engage in a conversation that challenges the status quo and inspires some bold ideas.
