How can working across differences drive innovation, leadership, and public impact?

In this interactive session, Aithan Shapira (artist and neuroscientist) introduces practical frameworks for navigating difference as a driver of collaboration, innovation, and real-world impact. Students will gain tools to work across disciplines, engage constructively with disagreement, and generate new ideas in contexts ranging from entrepreneurship to civic engagement.

Open to all concentrations. Come ready to engage, reflect, and expand how you work with others.
