FACES AND PHASES OF CREATIVITY
Convocation Year 2010-2011
Howard Gardner, Keynote Speaker
Howard Gardner is best known for his theory of multiple intelligences. His address will take place at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 15 in King Concert Hall. The title of his talk is “Creativity: What we can learn from The Masters.” He will draw on two of his books to talk about creativity—what we have learned from the most creative individuals and how we can apply these lessons to our own lives.
- Creating Minds: An Anatomy of Creativity as Seen Through the Lives of Freud, Einstein, Picasso, Stravinsky, Eliot, Graham, and Gandhi
- Extraordinary Minds: Portraits of 4 Exceptional Individuals and an Examination of our own Extraordinariness
There will be a reception and book signing in the Williams Center immediately after the address.
