Check out the College of Arts and Sciences variation on the TED Talks theme.
DUKTalks (DUK stands for Discovering University Knowledge) was launched as a showcase for faculty who represent the best of the College of Arts and Sciences—as demonstrated by their exploration of unexpected directions in their teaching and research.
Our speakers for the inaugural DUKTalks event last fall represented several different disciplines in the three major divisions within the College: humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Watch the videos below:
Ben Saunders, English — The Birth of the Superhero
Sara Hodges, Psychology — Reading Between the Minds
Richard Taylor, Physics — Creativity at the Intersection of Arts and Sciences
Richard York, Sociology — The Eco-Efficiency Paradox
Katie Meehan, Geography — Digital Natives: Learning for Their World, Not Ours
La Donna Forsgren: Edutainment, How I Learned to Survive the University Classroom
