WINTER 2006 LSA THEME SEMESTER: Explore Evolution
Evolutionary theory is a core concept that
frames entire fields of inquiry and informs countless insights
and discoveries in a wide range of disciplines, from biology and
paleontology to psychology and philosophy.
The Winter 2006 LSA Theme Semester, Explore
Evolution, will tap the rich intellectual and educational resources
of LSA and other University of Michigan units to engage the campus
and Ann Arbor area communities in an exploration of the basic
concepts of biological evolution, as well as cutting-edge research
in the field.
Semester activities will also explore the
insights gained when evolutionary concepts are used in the social
sciences and as a metaphor in the arts and humanities.
The theme semester is timed to coincide
with the installation at the Exhibit Museum of Natural History
of a National Science Foundation-funded museum exhibit, "Explore
Evolution," that will highlight the current research of seven
evolutionary scientists, including U-M paleontologist Phillip
Gingerich.
Goals
The purpose of the theme semester is to engage the curious, fascinate the interested, and challenge faculty and students with cutting-edge issues in evolutionary science.
The goals for the theme semester include:
-
Exploring the history, implications, and relevance of evolutionary theory
-
Communicating current research in evolutionary science and related disciplines
-
Inviting the general public to gain a new and deeper understanding of evolution
Highlights include:
-
A public Distinguished Speaker Series, with related seminars for academic audiences, and informal contacts with students
-
Saturday Morning Physics lectures by U-M faculty on basic concepts and current research in evolutionary science
-
An interdisciplinary symposium on current scientific thinking about the origins of the universe and of life
-
A free public film series, with faculty respondents
-
An Evolution and Culture Colloquium Series
-
Workshops for undergraduates on evolution and the nature of science
-
Workshops for K-12 teachers on teaching evolution
-
Young Faculty Symposium on evolutionary biology
-
