The FedEx Institute of Technology Launches the "Technology Serving Humanity" Lecture Series

Will feature scholars within the social sciences, humanities, fine arts and non-technical disciplines  

As the world moves rapidly into an era promising massive hyper-disruptive change driven both by new technological innovations and the collapse of disciplines, the FedEx Institute of Technology of the University of Memphis is launching a new public lecture series focusing on the deeper underpinnings and impacts of this change on individuals and communities. This Technology Serving Humanity series will focus on the social, political, philosophical and humanistic considerations rather than on technological aspects. The goal is to help our regional community understand and hopefully play an active role in navigating or shaping the expected disruptions and changes. 

Leading international scholars in the social sciences, humanities, fine arts and non-technical disciplines will be invited to the University of Memphis to present a monthly public talk as part of the series starting the fall 2021 semester. 

Faculty across campus who would like to nominate a distinguished speaker with a national or international academic reputation are encouraged to contact Dr. Jasbir Dhaliwal at jdhaliwl@memphis.edu with suggestions.
