Wednesday, September 24: Dr. Claudia MacMillan on "Imagination in Education: The Imagination Itself"
“Imagination” is one of the most misunderstood and misapplied concepts in education today. What is the imagination and what does it have to do with learning?

In this talk, Cowan expert Dr. Claudia MacMillan will consider the imagination as the means of translating knowledge into learning and will discuss how to educate the imagination in a way that liberates the mind and soul.

Wednesday, October 29: Dr. John R. Moss on "‘The Way I See It’: What the Cyclops and Oedipus Have in Common"
