The “Attention” series will explore the dynamics of how, why, and what we focus on shapes our reality and creates our purpose. Also known as concentration, alertness, focus, notice, awareness, heed, regard, and consideration—Attention is the fundamental cognitive ability to sustain one’s energy on a specific pursuit or thought.
The OHC’s 2025–26 Robert D. Clark Lectureship will feature Santiago Jaramillo, Biology and the Institute of Neuroscience, Kate Mondloch, Contemporary Art History and Theory, and Forest Pyle, English and Cartoon and Comics Studies on a panel discussing, from their own perspectives, how attention connects us to others and allows us to experience the world around us.
