Please join the conversation on “Radical Imagination,” a YSC Session with filmmaker and producer Shivaike Shah, Professor Eric Glover, and doctoral candidate Chris Londa exploring how imagination spans across disciplines in research and practice (including the sciences, professional practices, etc.) and the ripple effects that creativity has on one’s work.
Sessionists include:
