Live Conversation with Our Chancellor
Universities and the Future of Civilization
Wednesday, December 17th, 10:00 a.m. EST | Online via Zoom
Join us this Wednesday for a live conversation with Dr Iain McGilchrist, Chancellor of Ralston College, and Dr Stephen Blackwood, President of Ralston College, as they explore the urgent question of what education—at its best—ought to be, and why it matters so profoundly in our time.
Drawing on themes from Dr McGilchrist’s own writings and from his remarks upon accepting the Chancellorship, this conversation will reflect on:
-
Why he chose to take on this role at Ralston College
-
What a true university should cultivate in its students
-
How education shapes (and might save) the future of civilization
-
The human mind’s role in a technological age—why minds matter more than machines
In a moment when institutions of learning are faltering and losing their way, Dr McGilchrist will speak to the possibility—indeed, the necessity—of renewal rooted in truth, beauty, and the full flourishing of the human person.
All are most warmly invited to attend.
