What happens to a society when we no longer agree on the knowledge base?
In the United States, there are strong conflicts about politics, research and education, and about which voices, perspectives and books should be accommodated. Boxing is one of several expressions of a larger struggle over knowledge, facts and who gets to define reality.
For technologists and engineers, this is more than an American social debate. Professional decisions are based on access to knowledge, verifiable facts and trust in the information we use. What can developments in the US teach us about how vulnerable this foundation is, and what consequences can it have for us in Norway as well?
Through "UXA – Thomas Seltzer's America", Thomas Seltzer has traveled close to the people and contradictions in the United States. With seriousness, humor and his sharp view of American social development, he provides new perspectives on a society in rapid change, and on the importance of knowledge and facts in our own time.
Join us for a digital lecture that provides insight, challenges your perspectives and draws lines from the US to Norway.
