The Big Read: Keynote Conversation with David J. Staley
This year’s featured author is David J. Staley, professor of history at The Ohio State University and author of Alternative Universities: Speculative Design for Innovation in Higher Education. In his work, Staley challenges us to reimagine higher education not as a fixed institution but as a space of continual transformation. What if students were required to major in three disparate subjects? What if universities placed play at the center of learning, or designed curricula around broad cognitive skills rather than departments? Through bold “What if?” questions, Staley opens the door to radical and inspiring visions for the university of the future.
Professor Staley will be in conversation with UW College of Arts & Sciences Dean Dianne Harris. Together, they will explore how higher education might evolve and what possibilities lie ahead for universities like ours. This conversation connects directly to the College’s Rethinking the Academy initiative, inviting our community to think big-picture about the futu…

Psychology Edwards Lecture with Matt Smear, Associate Professor, Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon
Neurodiversifying Neuroscience, Matt Smear, Associate Professor, Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon
Biological variation is an inherent mechanism of life, supporting flexibility and resilience in an unpredictable world. In the brain, rich variation pervades gene expression, circuit development, neural coding, and cognition. Yet neuroscience has tended to idolize universals of function, treating variation as noise to be averaged away. In contrast, neurodiversifying neuroscience treats variation as a source of signal. Drawing on work across multiple domains of neuroscience, I will argue that neurodiversifying perspectives lay bare insights and opportunities hidden by normative traditions.
Faculty host: David Gire
These lectures are made possible by a generous endowment by Professor Allen L. Edwards.

Psychology Social & Personality Edwards Seminar with Dr. Joseph D. Wellman, Associate Professor of Psychology & Director of Experimental Training, University of Mississippi
When Group Identities Intersect: Group Identification, Discrimination and Threat, Dr. Joseph D. Wellman, Associate Professor of Psychology & Director of Experimental Training, University of Mississippi
This talk presents findings from several lines of research examining how discrimination and threat shape group identification among individuals with intersecting identities. Three studies investigate how experiences of COVID-19 discrimination influence Asian Americans’ national and ethnic identification. Another study explores how the source of discrimination affects gay Black men’s identification with their sexual and racial groups. Finally, two studies examine how masculinity threat influences gay men’s identification with their gender and sexual identity groups. Together, these projects demonstrate how analyzing group identification across intersecting identities advances our understanding of identity processes and their social consequences.
