The Valente Center for Arts & Sciences, and me personally, were very glad to host world renowned thinker Steven Pinker to Bentley University on March 20, 2024. His talk and the following Q&A on Human Rationality & Academic Freedom were insightful and inspiring.

It’s remarkable how we have learned: already quite a ‘tech optimist’, the whole remote teaching/learning experience became routine in this spring semester….it will not go away
End of the Fall 2020 Semester
All classes online this semester. A new normal? We’ll continue ‘virtually’ next semester. Classes went well. Student resilience is remarkable. Besides my regular ‘Comparative Government & Politics’ classes, I developed and taught an interactive, interdisciplinary course on ‘Science, Technology, and Society’: this weekly three hour seminar style class included of lectures, team work, and many talks by visiting faculty. A challenge and an achievement in one!
Back to School – Fall 2020
So, as Bentley reopens, my classes will be online only – synchronously. Two sections of GLS102 Comparative Government & Politics and an experimental class: GLS298 Science, Technology, and Society offered under the broader umbrella of ‘Business and Society’ and with the help of more than ten guest speakers, other faculty from Bentley. Though circumstances are challenging, I look forward to the new semester. And I’m well set up in my home ‘studio’!
