|
As students, teachers, and scholars of Florida State University, we invest a great deal of time and energy in ensuring we know how to be effective communicators of our ideas and insights. We make every effort to support our thoughts and work with evidence, research, thorough analysis, and thoughtful reflection. Despite the best of intentions, the paths we tread are rarely smooth. When we encounter obstacles and setbacks in our work, it can seem like a failure. And even the product of our best efforts will have its detractors. When faced with such problems, what happens next? This forum re-frames such issues in order to find their constructive potential by asking the question: how can disappointments, differences, and disagreement serve as sources of discovery? |
Day 1: Thursday, 3/5, 2020, 10:45 am – 3 pm (see detailed agenda below)
Topic: “Discovery through Disappointment”
The first day of the forum will examine the theme of discovery through disappointment, in which speakers will address a variety of topics, such as learning from failures, turning obstacles into opportunities, and mechanisms to cope with disappointments in both academia and life.
Lunch will be provided (12:30 – 1:30), and Networking/Reception to follow, 2:30 – 3:00 pm!
