The Frontiers of Human Evolution: Where Does Radical Innovation Come From?

Lecture/Readings

Where do large-scale changes in human evolution and economic progress come from? And how can we apply these insights to today?

In this open lecture, the biologist Stuart Kauffman and strategy scholar Teppo Felin address these questions. They discuss specific examples of technological innovation in the human evolutionary record and highlight their implications for understanding disruptive innovation and economic growth today.

The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you to join us for our fall book club. Across two sessions, we will discuss Helgesen and Goldsmith’s book How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job.

Helgesen and Goldsmith “see that women face specific and often different roadblocks from men as they advance in the workplace.” They identify 12 habits that may hold women back, such as reluctance to claim their achievements, and building rather than leveraging relationships. Helgesen and Goldsmith weave together research findings and stories to describe each habit and explain how to build new strategies. Whether you are in the workforce or not, these book club discussions will challenge your thinking and help you consider expanding your positive influence in Utah.

Register to attend.

LAEP Speaker Series: Mark van der Zalm

Lecture/Readings

“Tactical Urbanism :  Action Sports recreation and the City”   Over two decades of practise have given Mark and his consulting practise a unique perspective on how adults and youth adapt urban environments for recreation.  With work specifically in Parkour, Skateboarding, and BMX facility design – Mark’s team has questioned the current perspective on placing all ‘play’ in parks or sanctioned facilities. Through engagement, observation, and absorption of youth culture – the VDZ+A team has prepared facility design to support socialization, and skill development for non traditional sports. In recent years, greater emphasis on supporting diversity, inclusion of varied backgrounds, skills, and abilities have come centre stage.  A larger push to adapt the city to recreation in a Safe and engaging way.  Making transportation, or a trip to the corner market – more of a recreational experience!
