Rigor Across Disciplines: Sustainability and the Paradox of Growth
Join RIT Associate Professor and Fram Faculty Fellow for Applied Critical Thinking, Evelyn Brister, as she examines whether the current growth rate of academic research is unsustainable and explores how the concept of sustainability can be applied to research production. Ponder questions such as: Can we have too much knowledge, and has knowledge become over-priced? Are we producing a wasteful overabundance of knowledge? Other than the unpleasant fact that you can't possibly read everything, is precipitous growth in the knowledge industry a bad thing?
