Speaker Jennifer A. Frey, a professor of philosophy and former dean of the honors college, at the University of Tulsa, will discuss what is liberal about a liberal arts education and its value, especially in an era when artificial intelligence is omnipresent. If it is an education that befits a free person and citizen, as Western tradition contends, what sort of study can achieve this? What is the role of religion and theology in such study?
As we enter an uncertain future where artificial intelligence threatens to displace human thinking, labor, creativity and connection, Frey will address why the pursuit of virtue and wisdom through the traditional liberal arts is essential.
The Maxine and Jonathan Marshall Speaker Series on Religion and Conflict is an endowed lecture series that honors the life-long commitment of Maxine Besser Marshall ('76) and Jonathan Marshall to education, civil liberties and world peace.
