Theoretical
physicist and international authority on nuclear fusion,
Dr. Steven Cowley joins Higher Ed Now to discuss
the crucial role of—the liberal arts! As the first scientist to
serve as president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Dr. Cowley
makes the 21st century argument for the liberal arts by
applying his empirical background and also sharing his deep
appreciation for the arts and humanities. If you’re tired of
hearing that the liberal arts are outmoded and impractical or if
you’re skeptical about their value in the knowledge economy,
prepare to hear an eloquent defense from a scholar and scientist
uniquely positioned to appreciate the scientific advances that
improve the quality of the well-examined life.
